Google Expands Search Removal Tools For Sensitive Data And Explicit Images

Google has expanded its Search removal tools to make it easier for users to request the deletion of sensitive personal information and non-consensual explicit images from search results.

Announced on Safer Internet Day

The update, announced to coincide with Safer Internet Day, strengthens Google’s existing “Results about you” system and introduces a simpler process for reporting intimate imagery shared without consent. These changes come at a time of increased regulatory scrutiny of technology platforms, rising identity fraud risks and growing public concern about how personal information is exposed and circulated online.
