But not everyone wants to find porn. Using code to define it will help those who want to avoid it, AND those who want to find it. Lecturing about morality isn't a tech issue, but helping folks find and avoid the right type of online content sure is.
PS: sorry, that was PICS tags earlier, not PIGS tags. I don't want to know what a PIGS tag is for!
The web has plenty of standards for tagging content as unsuitable for children: the rating tag, pigs tags, even looking for naughty words... yet the Goog happily returns content so labeled even in its "safe" search mode.
They can detect a paid link from a mile away, but can't figure out which words suggest mature content. Quite a shame.
