Censors? Advertises. For related capabilities, check out participants in research meetings on "Image and gesture analysis." Cataloguing (indexing and describing) the images of the whole Web is a project that I have toyed with proposing to Entropia as part of their cause marketing strategy. This is a) clearly of social benefit, so Entropia wins once b) something you just wouldn't think you could do until they come on the scene, so they win twice.
