Amazon's filtering is pretty basic too - anything with an 'adult' tag gets filtered out of searches from the front page. What items get the 'adult' tag is the unclear part and appears to not be very consistent. |
Glenn, there is fundamental difference between the two:
1. Google gives you the option to REMOVE filtering. Google has a message next to the search results, telling you what your filter preferences are set to, for image, etc. searches.
2. Amazon does NOT tell you, that they are filtering your searches, which is a deceptive practice, in my book. Amazon also does not give you the option to remove their filtering.
