---- Report critical of adult filters

Aside from the moral question, what about Google's point of view? They dominate the search engine market because they provide the most relevant results. A non-perfect adult filter would only damage that objective. I don't think that Google as a company would take that risk.

Secondly, if it's not broken, don't fix it. And if it is broken, fix it properly. It is an undeniable fact that search engine filtering does not prevent kids from finding porn. Might as well use scotch tape to hold together a broken china plate.

If any parent or company has a problem with porn, they can easily download NetNanny to do the job properly. It's as simple as that.
