More Google Bullshit

Everyday, in everyway, the internet gets a little bit shittier.

I stumbled across the image below via tumblr and was trying to figure out an attribution. My starting point for that is always Google’s reverse image search. However, that came back with no results and a message I’d never seen before: “This search can’t be processed due to content guidelines. Please try a different image or keywords.” What fresh hell is this? I have safe search off and the image isn’t particularly explicit. Just a cute scene of a fully clothed woman and her pup.

Digging around it seems like I’m not the only one hitting this issue. Google – not for the first time – appears to be getting more puritanical and less useful (if that were possible). Trying  a few different images from my post queue had about a 50/50 block/pass rate. So much for organizing the world’s information and not doing evil. Over the last decade or so the leadership of Google has taken a company that was the pride of the tech world, a brilliant search engine that every developer wanted to work on, and turned it into a pile of AI and Ad infested crap.

Sadly, as the above post should make clear, I don’t have an attribution for this. Bing and Yandex did allow me to do a reverse image search, but couldn’t find the source. If you can help me out with that, then please leave a comment with the info.

Updated: Thanks to a helpful comment, I think I can now attribute this to Mistress Lamina, based out of Rio De Janeiro.

  1. Fabulous image, very intimate, but not explicit in any way. I do wonder what the justification for the nanny controls are, thanks for pointing this out

    1. Do you have a link? I tried looking on Lamina on twitter and couldn’t see a profile that looked appropriate. Searching for ‘Come here pet’ got me a lot of porn but not this! 🙁

      Thanks

      1. It says the page can’t be found it was posted on there June 6th 2025
        I have seen it tumbex titled madameisall.tumblr.com

  2. I have find the image search function on Google to have really deteriorated in it’s effectiveness over the last couple of years. Would love to know if there are any good alternatives out there!

    1. Yeah, they’re really sucking these days. Amazing what they’ve done to the company.

      Bing image search is OK, but doesn’t seem to have the coverage that Google does. Yandex is OK as well, but does lead to a lot of spammy/dodgy porn sources. Not sure what other options there are sadly.
