I like the idea of an objectionable content filter that's personalized like a spam filter. People don't always agree on what spam is, and they can change their minds at any time.

>Any search-ad revenue Google gets is a side-effect of users going to Google for good quality search results. Worse results would lead to fewer users, fewer ads sold, less revenue.
I did the Noogler training too. What you said might have been true before "google it" became the verb people use for "search".

>Same with all the plausible deniability with passwords etc, the judge can simple not believe you and put you in jail until you remember the password (even if you do not remember it).
