BESS vs Image Search Engines

Seth Finkelstein writes \”Available at: sethf.com,BESS vs Image Search Engines


Abstract: This report investigates how N2H2\’s censorware treats
several image search engines. N2H2/BESS turns out to blacklist popular
general image searching sites as \”Pornography\”. The cached images held
by such sites are probably the cause. This is discussed as a deep
dilemma of censorware, where general search facilities may be
considered as tainted if they contain any cached forbidden material.
