FILTERS DO NOTHING

The Google Images filter settings are nothing more than a sham. Type in the names of pretty much any cartoon characters, and you'll get fanart of a sexually explicit nature sprinkled among the more innocuous results.

Monica Epperson, 29, pleaded guilty to burglary and was sentenced to 23 months in prison, four months of electronic monitoring, and two months of “intense supervision.” (Chambersburg Public Opinion) ...By a 5-year-old.
