Sexual content "banned" from Dutch Google listing?

Hello,

I noticed that lately more and more sexual content sites are ranked
much lower than they used to in the Dutch version of Google. I'm not
talking about a few pages, but many. If you search for 'porno' in the
Dutch version of Google, the first 8 pages just show results of
mainstream internetpages (1 exception). Porn sites don't show up until
you get to page 9. The site that used to be # 1 (www.porno.nl) is now
on page 42. Is this due to a new policy from Google? Were these first 8
pages handpicked? I can't imagine they used a new algorithm to divide
the main stream and porn sites.

Does anyone know? Can I read about Google policy on this somewhere?

Thanks
