If it is not dancing grannies, or funny old people making a fuss about something, then what is it? The actual results which the google images will give you in response to the search results are not exciting. It leads to explicit pictures featuring old grannies.
You might think what’s wrong with some soft pictures of old people. However, these are not soft pictures but are some serious X-rated adult stuff that will come on your computer screens.
People find this shocking & not soothing to the eyes as it is purely unexpected. People are truly intrigued & curious to try out random stuff especially when they are told not to do so. Kids like to play tricks on their friends as well regarding old people memes.
But this meme surely does not contain suitable material for kids as the results show us upsetting pictures of old people which are not at all appropriate.
People are disgusted & angry over what they see when they search for old grannies on google. However, it is hypocrisy to support these criticizing people as they have searched the internet despite the fact they were told not to. It’s just human nature to do something everyone else is doing & telling them not to do.
There is no fault of TikTok in this meme, as it is only a platform that may be used for many informational & educational purposes. It’s the platform to blame, it’s us who caused this.
The more we share & view something, the more people it reaches, creating an atmosphere of unwanted & explicit things right in front of our eyes & even our kids who aren’t supposed to be watching all that stuff.
Current Situation
The current situation about this meme is that it is a dead one. People find new stuff & they forget about the old one. That’s the reality for this meme. Additionally, Google has removed most of the explicit search results from the images section. Searching old grannies now will not give you extreme adult pictures but still, some can be disturbing.
Google’s job is to provide its users with what they want to see. Hence, there is no accountability of google in this viral meme as it’s not their business to keep these pictures out of the reach of the public.
However, currently, Google has gotten a bit serious regarding their safe-for-view policy, they now give a warning before showing explicit results thus keeping an extra barrier for viewers.
