Please Thank Google - No Pornographic Ads

Please take a few minutes to thank Google for taking steps to eliminate explicit advertisements on its site. If we let them know there are many of us who appreciate a cleaner Internet, they will have more incentive to continue their new policy that is to start around Sep 2014. If we really want to change America, we need to do more than just vote someone into government office, then complain when it doesn't get better.

Below are some pertinent links and a copy of my letter to Google.

Thanks,
Emil

MY LETTER
Dear Google,

Thank you for updating your adult-oriented content policies to remove all explicit ads. I feel this is an important step in making the Internet a pleasant place for all of us, without stumbling across offensive materials. I appreciate that you even went further and limited even ads that are suggestive, sensual, or revealing. All of these things are on my list of unwanted media content. For me, it’s about keeping a clean mind; removing such material is a major help to let virtue garnish my thoughts unceasingly.

I have used Google for many years as my search engine, mainly because of the clean, uncluttered appearance of the search page and the relevant search results. As a result of these policy changes, I have a deeper respect for Google as a provider of several services that I now use. So long as it remains a place where I can safely work without offensive material making me angry, I’ll keep using Google. I'm glad you agree that not everything merits publication.
