Someone has found a way to integrate pornographic images into completely innocent Yahoo! search results.
reported an offensive bug that had crept its way into search results which had yielded from an innocent Yahoo! image search. The reader reported to The Register that on Thanksgiving Day they had conducted a search on Yahoo! image for the world "franchise" and were shocked to find that the pictures on the screen were not that of a typical search for the word. I actually saw the images myself, which were pixilated but had originally been described as being quite graphic, at The Register website and was completely perplexed by the fact that extremely pornographic pictures were considered to be related to the word . Curious as to what other innocent image searches would produce such results, I typed the word "sleep" into the Yahoo! image search. The first image seemed to be of a partially exposed woman on a plane who was photographed while she was sleeping; the next several were similar even with
 {
function initCopyableSections() {
document.querySelectorAll('.article-content .copyable-section').forEach(function(section) {
if (section.querySelector('.copyable-section__btn')) return;
var btn = document.createElement('button');
btn.type = 'button';
btn.className = 'copyable-section__btn';
btn.setAttribute('aria-label', 'Copy to clipboard');
var label = section.getAttribute('data-copy-label');
btn.textContent = label ? 'Copy ' + label : 'Copy';
section.appendChild(btn);
btn.addEventListener('click', function() {
var contentEl = section.querySelector('.copyable-section__content');
var text;
if (contentEl) {
text = contentEl.textContent.trim();
} else {
var clone = section.cloneNode(true);
var btnClone = clone.querySelector('.copyable-section__btn');
if (btnClone) btnClone.parentNode.removeChild(btnClone);
text = clone.textContent.trim();
}
if (!text) return;
navigator.clipboard.writeText(text).then(function() {
var t = btn.textContent;
btn.textContent = 'Copied!';
btn.classList.add('copied');
setTimeout(function() {
btn.textContent = t;
btn.classList.remove('copied');
}, 2000);
});
});
});
}
if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initCopyableSections);
} else {
initCopyableSections();
}
})();
