Gestern hat Google einen neuen Algorithmus für die Bildersuche eingeführt. Damit sollen weniger Treffer angezeigt werden, die „sexually-explicit“ sind. Auf reddit.com ist von Zensur die Rede. Gegenüber cnet.com äußerte sich der Konzern wie folgt:

„We are not censoring any adult content, and want to show users exactly what they are looking for — but we aim not to show sexually-explicit results unless a user is specifically searching for them. We use algorithms to select the most relevant results for a given query. If you’re looking for adult content, you can find it without having to change the default setting — you just may need to be more explicit in your query if your search terms are potentially ambiguous. The image search settings now work the same way as in Web search.“
