Google is built on some rather advanced reliance algorithms, but can also detect communities of interest. Looking at white papers about detecting groups of sites in a topical community can be rather difficult due to the surprising amount math involved. The end result though, is that Google can detect the interconnected nature of adult web sites, or sites of any other topic.
The difficulty for adult site blocking software is the manual categorization of sites. I would suggest that Google has that information, through it's current algorithms, possibly with better coverage than any other database. They are already offering a glimpse of their knowledge by providing moderate and strict filtering from the search preferences page.
The next step is for Google to package an web site filter into their Google Pack of essential software.
(Of course this filtering and web site categorization works great for other topics as well. Google should have sites already categorized as: adult, violence, gambling, illegal, ...)
Look to my GoogleDNS post for how Google could help us filter our web browsing.
