Google and child porn?

Now heres a person seeking instant fame by sueing Google for distributing Child Porn . He claims that Google has profited many million dollars from child pornography. Jeffrey Toback, a member of the Nassau County Legislature said that Google had put up many paid links on its search result pages which linked to sites which distributed pornography including of minors. He also said that Google has the technology to filter out porn results from search results as it was demonstrated in China (Good point, he has).

A Google spokesman denied the allegations and said the Mountain View, Calif.-based company takes numerous steps to prevent access to child pornography.

“When we find or are made aware of any child pornography, we remove it from our products, including our search engine,” spokesman Steve Langdon said in an e-mail statement to The Associated Press. “We also report it to the appropriate law enforcement officials and fully cooperate with the law enforcement community to combat child pornography.”
