Google’s big brother is watching out for offensive content and images, or are they?
Monday, December 7th, 2009
There will always be twisted people who make it their mission to spoil or deface an image or content that is not intended to be offensive. I think we all shake our heads in disbelief that this content still shows up in searches and most of the time shows up on the first page results. None of us wish to dwell on content that disturbs or offends, so many of us just move on and try to forget about it. But just because offensive content disappears from our brains, it doesn’t mean that it vanishes into thin air. The question that we find ourselves asking when the thought of offensive content pops into our minds is who regulates the search results and how do the powers that be decide on what is offensive and what is not. This question raises many opinions owing to the fact that we live in such a diverse world with different religions, political associations and sexual preferences.
