You can now ask Google to scrub images of minors from its search results
- rolph 5y ago"Google says the process for taking a minor's image out of its search results starts with filling out a form that asks for the URL of the target image. The form also asks for the URL of the Google search page used to find the image, and the search terms that were used. The company will then evaluate the removal request. While the request could wind up scrubbing problematic images from Google's search tools, "It's important to note that removing an image from Google results doesn't remove it from the internet," the company said as it announced the policy." This seems like a well intentioned effort, but would it just allow abuse and harassment to go off radar[g00glesearch] to the effect of becoming invisible.
- jimmygrapes 5y agoI will be keeping an eye on this in case I can use it to scrub my (adult) self from "the internet" as well. I expect this is why the Google team has to evaluate each one, to ensure it is not abused by someone uploading a picture of, say, someone who pissed you off and effectively deleting their legitimate presence.
