MSN: A FIRST-CLASS SMUTBUSTER

MSN may edge out Google and Yahoo! in one area: blocking porn. A Government Accountability Office study comparing how well the three top engines (with filters activated) screen out sexually explicit images declared MSN the most effective. They were ranked based on the number of suggestive images returned on keyword searches of three "innocuous" names popular with kids (Hilary Duff, the Simpsons, Harry Potter) and three words "known to be associated with pornography" that a GAO spokesperson declined to specify.
