Google Search results: Google Search is a widely used search engine developed by Google. Billions of people worldwide rely on this search engine to find information on the internet. Unfortunately, some individuals create websites to profit from explicit or intimate personal images of others. If this kind of content is posted online, it may also appear in Google Search results.
To address this issue, Google has updated its content and product policies on a global scale. If you come across content that involves you or someone you represent and wish to have it removed, you have the option to submit a removal request to Google.
Google's personal content policies cover various types of content, including explicit or intimate personal images, involuntary fake pornography, irrelevant sexual content associated with your name, personally identifiable information (PII) or doxxing content, content about you on sites with exploitative removal practices, and images of minors (non-explicit).
If you or someone you represent is linked to such content in Google Search results and seeks its removal, here's how you can request its removal.
