From the "vulgar" search engine to the nude model controversy

Currently, the Internet is undergoing a large-scale cleanup of vulgar and pornographic content. Many sites that have been exposed, warned or even punished are the ones most frequently used by users. Some of these sites do indeed go too far and contain a great deal of vulgar content; it's a good thing to clean them up and make them rein in their excesses. However, the definition of search engines providing vulgar and pornographic content is really perplexing. It's fine if you want to hold search engines accountable, and even if the experts at the monitoring center know that people use terms like "boobs" to search for pornographic content, I won't question it too much. What I'm concerned about now is why you also ban the excellent services and functions of search engines? You can't use email, documents, photos, or blogs. What are we supposed to do? History repeats itself in astonishing ways, but I don't know who said that—it wasn’t me. The regulation and persecution of Google reminds me of the controversy over the use of nude models in art education that happened before I was born.
