That's great news! Google is a private company.. they can do whatever they want. They're not obligated to deliver porn to your browser.

Go down to your neighborhood smut shop if you want that stuff.. where you will be carded for proof of age and where children are NOT allowed in, under penalty of law. Why should the internet be any different?

Do you understand the ramifications of something like this though? Once you give them a foothold to censor one thing, they'll want to censor something else, and something else, and then something else after that. Who's to say they won't target something YOU like next? And besides that, there was NOTHING wrong with the old system.....if a family member didn't want his or her child to look at certain things you only had to turn on the safesearch and they couldn't see it, simple. This was not needed.

Bottom line though is passivity is what ends up leaving us without any rights at all by leaving such huge power unchecked.

These things always seem good IN THEORY, but when you look closer there is something more sinister going on.

Kids don't just use the internet at home under the eye of their parents. Internet connected computers are everywhere. It's not the Wild West anymore. The onus is on the purveyors of smut to make sure it's only being delivered to adults. That's the way it is for shops. Like I said it's a private corporation.

Most companies have filters in place in their organizations.
