Google Base fixes glitch that unleashed flood of porn

Quote:A technology glitch temporarily turned Google's new personal listings service, Google Base, into a vast, virtual red-light district earlier this week.

Google Base allows adult content but should filter most of it if visitors use the company's SafeSearch feature, which blocks pornographic material from appearing in search results. That wasn't the case earlier this week, however, due to a technical glitch that allowed porn to leak into Google Base search results...

.."I was just shocked," Ripley said. "I was inundated with page after page after page of basically porn sites.".
