This isn't comparable. Community standars apply to things like a billboard on
the side of a road that features three people engaging in group sex that's an
advertisement for Nike sneakers (a al 'Just Do It').

If I choose not to see sexuality on the internet, I can do that. If a search
engine company is putting up banners for product or topics I find disturbing, I
don't use that search engine. The internet is both a public forum and a private
medium in which I get what I look for.
