Protecting Children (none / 0) (#2)
by Anonymous User on Fri Jan 20, 2006 at 09:15:22 AM PDT

The whole protecting children from pornography angle seems like a very obvious lie to me because even if 50% of the searches are searches for porn - how can they possibly know who is actually doing the searching. Sure it might be a 13-year-old, but it might be an 83-year-old, too. How would they ascertain whether anti-porn filters work by looking at Google records. Wouldn't they need to be on the other end, looking at what got through the filters to the user? How would they even know if the user has a filter from looking at Google records?
