What I should have said, quite simply, is that Google can manipulate the serps as they please while still raking in the adwords revenue. They don't need to provide a free service to porn sites (porn is a special case). There's nothing to stop them from side-lining porn into a separate engine consisting entirely of paid listings (at something like $25 a site it would be a nice little earner). IMHO Google will eventually go down that route, and where Google goes, others will follow (any move towards protecting surfers from unwitting exposure to porn would win them a lot of kudos in high places). They can pretty well do what they like. And they will.
In using the word "tolerate" I intended to convey the meaning "Allow the presence of or allow (an activity) without opposing or prohibiting.". My apologies to those who took it to mean "Put up with something or somebody unpleasant".
And no, I'm not jealous of GG - In fact, I'm much better looking than he is
