As far as the 'forced' category is concerned, it's illegal in the UK to even watch a 'forced' roleplay video, even if the actors/actresses are clearly acting.
In fact, at the time when groups were campaigning to have that law passed, they were making a big thing about such videos being easily found on Google. So I would imagine at least in the UK, and any other country where a category is illegal, that it would censor results.
Then there are 'dubious' categories, which in themselves aren't illegal - such as 'incest'. I wonder if Google might already, or in the future be looking at 'dubious' terms and demoting or blacklisting sites that contain them?

Hey Cordoba. I actually didn't find anything specifically about "forced" in UK, but I found this: en . wikipedia . org/wiki/R18_(British_Board_of_Film_Classification). Well, it looks that almost anything a little bit hardcore is banned :D BUT, you can find those categories on UK version of Xvid AND I can see results for pornsites with "forced" content on Google through UK VPN. Doesn't seem there is something censored.
It's also interesting that Pornhub seems to be excluded from SERP in Germany.
Since Google normally shows search results for "forced", "rape" etc. porn, it makes sense that there is no censorship from Google about those types of porn. That should also mean that there should be no penalization/ban of porn site that contains such type of categories. Maybe it is banned on PH just because of their image and pressure from people, because PH is always a target for such people that wants porn regulations etc.
Looks to me that if content is from major tube sites - means there is no real "forced" porn - there should be no problem. Of course, hosting real forced videos etc. should be a legal problem.
