Kids have grown up dear, kids have grown up. According to survey conducted by Symantec-owned Norton, Sex was a hot online search topic for children in 2009.
While the top three search terms for Internet users under the age of 18 were YouTube, Google, and Facebook, the words “porn” and “sex” took the next two positions.
Boys’ top 25 searches centered on social networking, games, shopping, and “adult terms,” according to Norton.
Girls were also interested in online social networking websites, but their top 25 searches leaned more toward music, movies, celebrities, and television shows.
The report, top 100 favorite search terms was based on the search tracking done by Symantec’s OnlineFamily.Norton service. Respondents were children 18 years old and under. The study was part the groups’ assistance to parents in monitoring their children’s online searches.
Norton claims, “What makes OnlineFamily.Norton unique is that it gives parents insight into kids’ online activities and what interests them most so that parents can ensure they have a discussion with them about topics they’re curious about, as well as protect them from cyberthreats.”
