I bet they use Google. Google image search brings back a lot of porn, including illegal stuff. Where are the district attorneys? If you want to make a name for yourself, go after the biggest kiddie porn pusher in the world. Go after google.

Considering the article says it's Google searches, it's a pretty safe bet they use Google.

Your second point. I have safe search turned off. I have never had a Google search come back with illegal porn, although I have never actively searched for it. On most searches, something pornographic will show up somewhere in the search list (rule 34) but I personally have never had anything illegal come up in a Google search. I know that Google does attempt to block illegal porn. However, if Google is viewed as a search engine, in many ways it becomes the same as a telephone connection. Does the phone company have an obligation to monitor all phone calls to report illegal activity? If law enforcement agencies search Google for illegal sites (and I'm sure they do) that's one thing. Prosecuting Google for failing to report all images that come up in their automatic search algorithms is different.

The difference between phone calles and the images.google.com site is that those images are not being just passed through. They are stored on Google servers in the form of smaller thumbnails. They are keeping all images both legitimate and illegal. What was the rock singer for the "Who" that got busted a few years ago for having that crap on his computer? Yeah, they could get Google, their executives and other employees, if they wanted. Or, they could just blackmail them?

All it would take is for one states district attorney to take down this HUGE Democrat Contribution and support center.

tell me you wouldn't enjoy that.
