This morning get an email - Feds Want Google, Yahoo to Beef up Filtering!!!!!!!
Now having read the real story yesterday I just thought it was interesting how someone would turn a relatively harmless little event into a "the sky is falling" article - just like all the doomsayers and shit-stirrers have been doing on all the boards
Now - here's the real article:

Titled - Google And Yahoo Don't Block Porn, Government Report Says
This was a study done by the GAO - which for those of you not familiar - is a little accounting office that does studies all year to justify spending money
And it was done on P2P networks - and just happened to look at the built in filters at the SEs just for the fun of it
and they figured out (after a few million dollars) that the SEs filters dont work as well as MSN's - go figure MSN doesnt show porn sites (they contract that out to Nightsurf)
Just an example of how something minor in the news can be turned into a headline to scare the masses
Someone ought to give these guys a lesson in Journalistic responsibility
