I kinda don't know how to feel about this one.

This kinda seems like a continuation of the problem with revenge porn, child porn, etc just at a much larger scale and able to impact a lot more people.

And that is a real problem and we should do what we can to product the victims.

But I struggle with this quote:

>. “Google has ruined lives and is shamefully inflexible at responding to developing problems,” Goldberg said, joining others decrying Google's move as "too little, too late."

Google isn't the service that is generating these images, they are not hosting them, they are just the search engine to find where they are.

Unless google blocks all porn related searches, I just don't know what realistically can be done about this from Google's prospective at any reasonable scale. The idea of a human looking at everything that google crawls just isn't realistic.

And I have a lot of problems with Google. I just, am struggling with putting this on them specifically. Instead the legislation going after those that are hosting it, making it, etc which is mentioned in the article.
