Would Google and Yahoo Geo-Filter Adult Searches?

I'm not sure that we should be pushing the SEs to do anything. I know many countries have their own filtering systems at the Internet gateways and it doesn't matter what Google does or does not do. Singapore, Malaysia, The UAE and many others do their own filtering.

I also don't want to be focusing on who or how filtering should take place. It's a big can of worms to try an influence some of the world's largest corporations.

I think our time is better spent focusing on labeling sites so that many technologies can filter and allow the consumers to push for their preferred methods.
