Available at: http://sethf.com/anticensorware/bess/google.php BESS vs The Google Search Engine (Cache, Groups, Images)
Abstract: This report examines how N2H2's censorware deals with archives of large amount of information. Three features are examined from the Google search engine, (Cache, Groups, Images). N2H2/BESS is found to ban the cached pages everywhere, pass porn in groups, and consider all image searching to be pornography. The general problems of censorware versus large archives are discussed (i.e., why censorware is impelled to situations such as banning the Google cache).
