Google Urged to Drop Images
Nqdiddles writes "News.com.au is reporting that the head of Australia's nuclear energy agency has called on Google to censor images of the country's only nuclear reactor. While Dr. Smith admits the image is about two years out of date, he also says he doesn't 'want to provide any easy assistance to anyone who wants to interfere with the site.'
Citing the precedent of the blocks of colour over the White House and Treasury buildings, he's critical of their own security, adding 'there's a small area near the middle of the site which is quite secure, but the bulk of our site isn't all that secure' and is easily visible from the road and commercial airline flights. Google has defended the technology, noting the images were six to 18 months old and not detailed enough to zoom in on people."
Gold has a government?
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism. - Winston Churchill
Ehh, you can almost put an actual human to monitor google image searches, because I bet you 99.9999% of image searches are of images depicting human beings, most of that being porn. The rest are images of galaxies, cars, and pictures of what to put on your school report. That's why they got the offensive filter off setting, as soon as someone sets that, ehh, they're looking for porn. But you have to beware of cunning terrorists who will set that filter, and still look for the nukular plant images.
No, gold IS the government.
I'd love to know when that happened.
I'll need a few things;
After that's done I think I'll disband the govt.
