Kiddle is a search engine made for kids.[1] It helps children find safe and kid-friendly websites when they search for information. Kiddle looks like Google, but it only shows results that are good for children.[2]
Kiddle faced criticism in 2016 for blocking words like "gay" and "lesbian" from searches because they "couldn't guarantee the safety of such search terms".[3]
