You're assuming that someone is looking up "porn". The problem
with a filter is that it may not allow a patron to find what they are
looking for, even if it wouldn't be considered pornography.

Escalating all non-filtered "hits" to equate with pornography is
contemptuous. That
isn't how it works in real life.
