Mostly gentlemen, I guess, but who knows: I don't have any access to statistics of that kind. Anyway, here is the gist of the news:
If you’re in the U.S. and trying to search for boobs on Google Images right now, you’re going to have a tougher time. That’s because Google has prevented U.S. users from disabling SafeSearch. And if you want to find NSFW images, you’re going to have to be more specific with your searches.A few remarks to that:
Google users should be familiar with the SafeSearch toolbar at the top right of Image searches. Until recently, that bar allowed users to select MODERATE, STRICT, or OFF. As of right now, those options have been removed from the drop-down menu – but only in the U.S.
- Not only in US, I have to correct the writer (of course I checked immediately, what do you think?). Here too.
- In fact, Google didn't prevent you totally from searching for hardcore stuff. Read the whole article, it's more of a canard than real McCoy.
- And what the heck Googlebots think they are doing to law abiding boob-seeking citizens of the world? Boils my blood to think of it, and I don't even remember why...

Pshaw. Ain't happenin' in Texas, anyhow. Try typing Ashlynne Brooke XXX and you'll get ll the boobs (and more) you could wish for.
Nope, that original article doesn't say that you cannot turn off Safe Search, only that the moderate search is the default, and one needs to invest some effort into switching off...
I would imagine that the reason that one can no longer search for boobs on Google is that the search term in question brought up too many pictures of the former junior senator from Illinois and/or members of his administration. Such things must be avoided, you know, lest the helots start thinking bad thoughts about their betters.
Well behaved helots shouldn't' think at all, if I may suggest, but OK. Makes sense.
Oops. My bad.
No problem. As long as people of the world are able to get to the good stuff ;-)
