'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access

mikesd81 writes "The Register has a story saying that one of the world's biggest porn producers wants Google and other search sites to put up barriers between kids and adult entertainment. 'Steven Hirsch, the co-chairman and co-founder of Vivid Entertainment, is to deliver this message on Saturday in New Haven, Connecticut as he addresses an army of Yale University MBA candidates. "Responsible companies in the adult industry such as ours have done a great deal to deter minors from accessing adult material," Hirsch proclaims from inside a Vivid press release. "None of the search engines and portals, but particularly Yahoo and Google, has taken any significant steps in this direction.'"

xaxa >>> "I don't think it should block porn either."

Really. So it a kid is searching for pictures of goats for his "3 billy goats gruff" storybook homework he should be subjected to [possibly due to a typo, maybe not] "goatses"? And you're fine with that?

I'm not. I think porn filters on a search engine are fine.

(You may be happier with a child with a scat fetish [porn] than one wanting to research the "right to bear arms" [guns], doesn't mean everyone is.)
