Google In Trouble Over Porn Again; This Time In Korea

Vnunet.com reports that Google is in trouble with Korean government officials over exposing children to pornographic content in South Korea. It seems like since Google pulls a snippet of content from the page it indexes on the search results page, and since that content contains "obscene" language, Google itself is "showing search results that contain sex-related keywords." No word from Google on this as of yet. Yesterday we reported Google being in trouble with Brazil over child pornography allegations.
