Google’s decision to block explicit images is a huge win for Bing & Search.xxx
December 12, 2012
Google has modified its popular image search to block many explicit pictures, a move that could be a big win for competing search engines.
While you used to be able to turn SafeSearch off to easily find questionable material, Google now only lets you “filter explicit images” or “report offensive images.” As you can see in the image above, a search for the word “porn” brings up some questionable material but nothing explicit.
