Filter Your Thoughts

A search engine's 'content filter' is an amazing thing. It unintentionally helps determine how we not only see the Internet, but also how we see our fellow humanity.

With the filter set to ON your search can bring an abridged version of what's out there, causing you to think "the internet's not all that bad". But when you turn that filter to OFF... you better watch out! It reveals the internet and humanity at it's most vile and offensive. No matter what you enter into the engine, you have a smattering of results you might never hope to see* again.

*Image search is by far the worst.
