Google has promised a worldwide block on search results linked to child abuse. In an about turn the media firm has agreed to make changes which will prevent illegal child pornography appearing for more than 100,000 different searches. The restrictions will be launched in the UK first, before being expanded to other English-speaking countries and 158 other languages in the next six months.
I can't see this having much effect as paedophiles probably don't use Google (or Microsoft, which is following suit). And if you can block porn images why wouldn't you (for example) block footage of hostages being beheaded?
