Google has become an essential tool in our daily lives, providing answers to countless questions, whether for work or simply out of curiosity. The term ‘googling’ has even become synonymous with seeking information.
However, while Google offers answers to almost everything, certain searches can be highly dangerous and may even lead to legal trouble. Here are four things you should avoid searching on Google:
‘How to Make a Bomb’
Searching for instructions on how to make a bomb is considered a criminal offense. Security agencies actively monitor such activities, and any search related to bomb-making or weapons can raise red flags. If detected, your search history could lead to legal action, including imprisonment.
‘Child Pornography’
Searching for or accessing content related to child pornography is a severe crime under the law. Governments and online platforms have stringent measures to track and prevent the spread of such content. Engaging in such searches can result in strict legal penalties, including heavy fines and imprisonment.
Searching for pornography involving children and minors is a criminal offence. There are strict laws in place to address these offences, and anyone caught can face severe penalties, including five to seven years of imprisonment.
‘Hacking Tutorials or Software’
Searching for hacking tutorials or hacking software on Google can land you in trouble. If someone uses Google to search for ways to hack, it can attract serious repercussions. Authorities may take strict action against such individuals, potentially leading to imprisonment.
‘Pirated Movies’
Many people try to find or watch free movies through Google. However, engaging in movie piracy, even by searching for it, is a punishable crime. If caught, a person could face a minimum of three years in jail and a fine of up to Rs 10 lakh.
