Google’s genius plan to eradicate porn in search results
by Jenny Kutner in Salon
It happens from time to time: What seems like an innocuous Google image search somehow turns into a NSFW Internet escapade, with X-rated photos that seem to load infinitely as one scrolls through the results. These types of searches are exactly what it seems Google is trying to prevent with its recent porn eradication policy, which was first announced in March. But, as Vice writer Brian Merchant discovered by chance recently, it also seems that seemingly ‘clean’ search terms and associated user complaints over results might be exactly how Google is getting rid of all the porn. After all, there’s a lot of porn out there to find.
Google’s removal policies characterize removable “offensive material” as pornography (including search terms with multiple meanings that might not seem offensive, but could be), bodily functions or fluids, vulgarity, graphic physical injuries or depictions of death and animal cruelty.
