The images returned by the search look quite dodgy.

VK is the most popular social media site in and near Russia. It is like Facebook there. A lot of pirated content exists there. Mainly songs.

  But the image results are mostly little girls.

    Fuck. What have I gotten into now. It's all strange pics of little girls. I just looked at the image tab now. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=VK https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=VK No strange meanings either.

    yeah there is some absolutely questionable stuff there, I wonder why searching for VK brings them all up, some of these seem like random direct-to-youtube uploads but there's so many of kids that it almost seems like someone's collection, but why does a search for VK return them all? seems like a strange coincidence that there'd be troubling image results and empty normal results

      Maybe a lot of people on VK post links to those videos and they get scraped up in a reverse index?

The images returned on DuckDuckGo are, in general, really dodgy. While debugging a web-server of mine, I recently found that various constant strings of file servers return similarly `dodgy' results, like for example "Index of /" [0].

  So this is a complete tangent, but one of the images was some photograph off a geocities archive site. The woman had red eyes. I realized I haven't seen that in years. Cameras sure have improved.

  is this region/area dependent? I just see pictures of people, nothing sexual if that's what you mean.

    It shouldn't be, perhaps you have `Safe Search' turned on? (It is by default)

  It is (used to be?) a pretty common google "hack" to put an intitle:"index.of" on a search to find sites serving files, usually mp3s. Of course once this was widespread enough, SEO spam sites starting including it in the generated clickbait sites.

  What the hell?? What is the explanation for this?

You're not exaggerating. There's definitely some suggestive underage content in there. Some of it looks like random photos gathered from the web but there's also some pedo / ephebo shit that was purposely made.

I was browsing through the list of popular matrix rooms and I stumbled across one for "teen feet".
