conducted subsequently on the search engine, URLs
are then retrieved from this index based on the terms
searched for, location, user preferences etc., and the
best matches are displayed [Ref. Annexure K, Pg. 367,
369]. Essentially, when a user searches on Respondent
No.3/ Google, they are not searching the live web.
Instead, they search Respondent No.3/ Google's index
of the web, which it regularly updates through
crawling and indexing. Therefore, Respondent No.3/
Google, by its very nature and architecture, has the
ability to detect and block content that is adjudicated
to be unlawful and subject to takedown. True copy of
'How Google Search Works' available on
developers.google.com is annexed herewith as
ANNEXURE K [Pg. 367 to 372].
32. Respondent No.3/ Google, as a matter of policy,
deploys tools to restrict search of certain keywords on
its search engine. It blocks search results that lead to
child sexual abuse imagery or material that appears to
sexually victimize, endanger, or otherwise exploit
children. Respondent No.3/ Google constantly updates
its algorithms to combat these evolving threats and
applies extra protections to searches that it
understands are seeking CSAM content. It filters out
explicit sexual results if the search query seems to be
seeking CSAM, and for queries seeking adult explicit
content, the search will not return imagery that
includes children, to break the association between
children and sexual content. In many countries
(including India), users who enter queries clearly
related to CSAM are shown a prominent warning that
child sexual abuse imagery is illegal, with information
on how to report this content [Ref. Annexure L, Pg.
373]. . True copy of Respondent No.3/ Google's Policy
on Keyword Search is annexed herewith as
ANNEXURE L [Pg. 373].
