I'm sure you can get porn off any search engine if you disable the porn guard.

this is so stupid i can't even think of a comment aside from one expressing how stupid it is. i would like to see an apple based search engine, just to see what they do with this matter.

That's not the point of the article. The article is referring to iphone/ipod and Apple's double and broken standards in censoring applications for the devices.

Google does the exact same thing. Any search engine does the exact same thing.

The issue here is censorship, and it should stop. Like Gizmodo said, let the people decide what they can do with their gadgets. If they want pocket-sized smut machines, then so be it. It's their investment, their property.

Problem is, Apple is a control freak and likes to control everying that their users can and can't do

umm...you can get porn easy by using google which comes on the device. They just want an excuse to get microsoft off the app store.

 

[Maxor127]

Sorry, but a search engine that could theoretically be used to search for porn is not the same as an app specifically written to provide porn. The comparison is completely retarded. It's like saying Walmart shouldn't sell satellite dishes because you can use the receiver to access porn channels.

So are people really upset that Apple restricts their access to porn on the iPhone or something? How big of a loser can you be?

As said in the article, Bing just seems to have a knack for doing it better though.

so are they going to ban the internet entirely? there's nudity there after all.

saying that, why not just ban real life and be done with it?

who gets offended by nudity anyway?...

[in the picture]: some tom's hardware guys were searching for "big tits" hahaha

Yo Gizmodo. FUCK YOU. If someone wants to search for porn on their Iphone or Ipod, that is their choice.

Gizmodo, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE NOT TO WATCH PORN. LIKE THERE IS A SINGLE PERSON ON YOUR STAFF THAT ISNT A PERVERT!

 

[rantoc]

Isnt this great, just shows how easiley screwed the iphone users are. Like crack addicts who only can get their "shit" from one place unless they jailbreak their overpriced hardware. No one anywhere near sane would purchase such limited toys...

 

[bhaberle]

Yeah... every search engine can find porn if you turn off the search filter... if it didn't, that would make it pretty flawed wouldn't it? Especially considering how big the online porn industry is. That owuld lose any search engine company a lot of money.

 

[bhaberle]

And furthermore, you can go to Safari and navigate to another search engine and find porn too. Let's hope that Gizmodo doesn't make that become an article too.

 

[blasterth]

The iPhone has an internet browser, that's the ultimate app to watch a porn!

 

[drip50291]

I totally agree with blasterth. the freakin internet is accessible from ur phone. enough said

 

[MU_Engineer]

I highly doubt that Bing is the only search engine that will turn up porn in the results if you put "porn" as a search term. I know Google censors search results, but if they got rid of all of the porn, then I'd expect their market share to drop precipitously. Because, you know, the Internet is for porn.

Disable the filter...

You are a moron for parrot reporting this article Kevin.

Apple Almighty can't even get it's own intentions straight let alone be trusted to "control" things that we see. They are somewhat like the conundrum of a politician accusing another politician of playing politics.

Worse, people believe badly of the accused politician but think well of the accusing politician even though that one is just as bad.
