GFY lets you post images, and polices images... and therein is the problem.

Regardless, if a site is mature adult with even basic nudity, don't they have to have some kind of statement?

Sorry but your wrong here. Google does'nt hotlink the image from the original site but collects and stores copies of images it finds on the web on their own servers and then gives the surfer the chance to see the original image by linking to the site where Google found the image.

Since Google is in effect publishing content that is stored on their own servers, (and Google is a US company), then many people say that Google should in fact be in complience with the 2257 regs. Maybe the Feds just don't fancy tangleing with a big, wealthy company like Google ?
