As awesome as Google is, at the end of the day, it always comes down to the money.
These apps are tremendously popular, just see the number of downloads. Last month, Google started cleaning out this mess… yet again, but as it seems, either the roll out is too darn slow, or it has missed a few things.Īn interesting observation, which could be the reason why Google hesitates to get such filthy content out of its system, is the popularity. It maintains a strong stand against erotic content, or so it says. It’s not like Google isn’t doing anything about it. But apparently, Google doesn’t really care about what you’re surfing as it assumes that you would want to access such content, nonetheless. I, for one, am not really a fan of erotic content, heck, even if I was, I wouldn’t use my work email ID to access such things. If that wasn’t scary enough, it also shows you what your friends (or people you’ve in your Google+ circle) are recommending. Here’s how apps and books, or just any other recommendation system works: much like personalized ads, which are targeted at one’s personal taste – the things you buy online, the things you seem to be interested in, Google logs relevant content. Fire the Play Store up on your device, go through apps and books recommendations, and I bet you’ll find some explicit content. Google’s application store for its Android operating system, the Play Store, has a serious porn problem. It’s not new, it’s not unique, and it’s certainly not going anywhere.
