100,000! :eek:

Will any of us actually be able to search for anything ever again???

I imagine that an awful lot of perfectly innocent searches are going to fall foul of this. And what happens if you use a "Naughty search term"? will you end up on some database somewhere??

:(
 
Well the gov might put you on a list but not Google. I think it just displays a warning message.

You cant just assume that people who search for terms a paedo might use are themselves looking for explicit images of children, if you are writing a news article or researching crime rates then you may fall foul of this too.
 
Won't make a huge amount of difference I wouldn't imagine. It would be like Google blocking illegal movie download searches, as if anyone does anything but go directly to a source site.
 
Surely you cannot get to kiddie porn on google anyway?!

As above, paedofiles will use some underground program/browser/torrent wont they? I cant imagine a google search of '"kiddy porn" will bring up links to loads of underground sites... however i have never tried so could be wrong
 
I just tried "brass eye paedophile special" and it had a warning message where the sponsored ads would usually go... I'm not sure its going to achieve much especially when its likely to apply to legitimate searches most of the time
 
This will definitely mean that all of those people who get their child porn by searching for "child porn" on Google will be forced to give up their addictions and become valuable members of society.
