We filter potentially offensive or inappropriate results because we want to avoid situations whereby we might misrecognise a spoken query and return profanity when, in fact, the user said something completely innocent, said Google, according to Reuters.

Well then, block swear words by default, but have an option to turn the filtering off. I'll swear if I want to.

Seems sensible to me, its only for the text to speech you can still type it. You wouldn't want to send a voice - text message to your boss and accidentally swear at them.
