Will site content get a site banned?

Searching for illegal porn brings up hit's in SERP

[privacyfanatic]

I've read here many times about sites getting banned from SE's.

If you search for "kid_ie po_n" for instance, you'll get lots of hits in the SERP. And not all of those sites are porn. Most are child advocacy groups and so on.

But you'll definately see a few hits that indicate that the site is into porn of some kind. I clicked one just for the hell of it. Nothing illegal.. just a link farm to various and sundry pornsites. (and incedently a few minutes later my browser started acting funky. I found a virus.)

The question is... if let's say there *was* a site that had the *real deal*.. would they even bother applying to an SE? (They surely would lie about the content). If they did apply, would a SE's crawler find and report illegal content and would the SE investigate? (I can't see how... how does a bot know that 13245.jpg is an 8 yo or a 25 yo?)

Does anybody know how these sites get listed?

Hmmmm.... considering that having simply once viewed an "illegal image" even accidentally can get you hauled off to jail when your computer is in for repairs, the effects on search engines would be the least of my worries if I so much as surfed some of these sites, much less hosted one!

Anti-porn crusaders, like all crusaders, seem to think nothing of innocent adults being caught up in the prosecution machine, on the basis that they are serving some greater good by ruining some lives while ostensibly saving others. (Sorry, getting </topic>)

Well... I'm not worried about anything being left behind on my PC. I have Internet Washer Pro. I don't know how it compares with the others... I think I heard that Evidence Eliminator has the highest rating... their's is the only product I know that will clean your swap file.

I clean everyday (you can set up scheduled washing).

Thanks for the concern.
