About Google Image, it stopped doing direct links as a result of a lawsuit by Getty Images. How does DDG get away with it?
Another advantage of DDG/Bing is the ability to really turn off safe search. Unlike Google, it will not try to guess if you want nudity or not based on your search query, resulting in weird situations where you have to look for porn in order to get "anatomically correct" pictures.
- unknown_error 5y agoIn Google you can manually turn off safe search too https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/510/filter-explicit-results-using-safesearch-computer https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/510/filter-expli... That forces it off no matter what your query is. I, err, only know this because of anatomy class homework.
- dangrossman 5y agoGoogle filters out what it thinks are pornographic results for non-pornographic queries even if SafeSearch is explicitly turned off.
- unknown_error 5y agoHow do you know?
- dangrossman 5y agoBy searching for adult webpages I know exist, and not finding them until I add an adult word to the search query so they're not filtered out.
- markdown 5y agoThey should have just stopped displaying Getty Images in results. They're scam artists anyway, claiming to own public domain historic photos and selling them for a thousand bucks a piece.
