Google SafeSearch Too Heavy Handed

Benjamin Edelman from Harvard Law School offers up a well-research paper, Empirical Analysis of Google SafeSearch, that shows that "SafeSearch blocks at least tens of thousands of web pages without any sexually-explicit content, whether graphical or textual. Blocked results include sites operated by educational institutions, non-profits, news media, and national and local governments." Filtered sites included Apple Support, NET Bible, Thomas (Congressional legislative system), and many more.
