Google Changes Settings to Make Porn Harder to Find

... "porn" was the sears robuck catalog...

Of course. It was that "page 602 penis peek" that changed society back in 1975...

When I was 11 we had a black and white television and "porn" was the sears robuck catalog...

When I was 11 (back in 1970s) we just got color TV. The porn magazines were on the top shelf of the magazine rack at grocery stores and drug stores. Supposedly they were "out of reach" of children. :rolleyes: That's one area where our society has actually gotten better. (The convenience stores around here that do carry Playboy and Penthouse have them behind the checkout counter and/or wrapped up.)

When was that? When dinosaurs walked on earth?
Sorry I simply couldnt resist.:D

In 19th century it was obscene/pornographic to say "chicken breast".


I dont believe for a second that porn or anything else for that matter will ever be that hard to find on the internet....
 
Personally I think all porn should be moved to .xxx so it would be easier for parents to control what their kids can access. That way you don't need to know anything other than block all sites from .xxx

Then who decides what is and isn't porn; what has to and doesn't have to be .xxx? .gov?
 
Disabling SafeSearch is a "sticky" setting; SafeSearch will stay off for future visits until you turn it back on.

Firewalls, proxies, and anti-virus programs are often configured to periodically delete cookies. If you are accessing Google Images from behind one of these programs (such as on a corporate network), you may have to reset your preferences periodically. Contact your IT professional if you'd like to try to alter your firewall or proxy situation.

So they leave a pookie (porn cookie) on you machine.
 
Now we have corporations wanting to play Mommy? Perhaps they should make parental controls for the PC like they have on TV's and cable services etc for those same people.

Let them "buy" their stupid sensors. Don't confine my searches to meet the desires of some other persons value system. Let them put a device on their router or PC. Then instead of defining porn for the entire planet every person can basque in the warm glow that nobody my sneak in a picture to their PC they may interpret as "dirty". They can "define" their own porn through a software package they buy. Let them screen themselves or they will never be satisfied because the degrees of hypersensitivity and definition of offensive etc are simply too great for any one size fits all screen to work. The screen limiting would wind up in favor of the largest group whining the most.

Once you go down this road of "blocking" things for the "good of all" be careful what you ask for. This is for the most part another example of the encroaching visibility of "mob rule". Simply by being a larger force of people their desires will be endlessly forced on the individual.

After they sensor "porn"........... what is next? How about political views they find offensive that do not align with their "value system" etc? How about guns? Be very careful opening this door.

This is a ridiculous libertine post. Google are a private company, not the government. They are just trying to stop people searching for normal things finding porn by accident.

When someone lacks any meaningful information to counter an opinion or fact they either go with "hate, religion, or political affiliation". I have no political affiliation or any of the others but feel free to lob out your unfounded opinions and categorizations.

Like many posters have said........... define "porn". Are you going to? Am I? A woman? A man? A pastor? A religious zealot? A 22 year old bar hopper? A swimsuit model? Someone 21 or 81?..... I can't believe you do not understand there is no one size fits all definition nor will there ever be.

Censoring is.... simply censoring. Someone else you don't even know will decide what you can see based on their personal opinion, life history age, value system and everything else in THEIR life. Sorry.... I got a problem with that. You may not mind being spoon fed information from other people but I do.

You might also notice the government is deeply involved with all the "private" ISP's and other internet providing and monitoring companies. I do however have the ability as a consumer to simply move to another search engine. Google is a bit "over-connected" to other sites and organizations for me at this point anyways.
