> The search engine provides a path for victims to report that content whenever it appears in search results. And when processing these requests, Google also removes duplicates of any flagged deepfakes. > Google's spokesperson told Ars that in addition to lowering the links in the search results, Google is "continuing to decrease the visibility of involuntary synthetic pornography in Search" and plans to "develop more safeguards as this space evolves.” > ... > “Google has ruined lives and is shamefully inflexible at responding to developing problems,” Goldberg said, joining others decrying Google's move as "too little, too late." > Google's solution still largely puts the onus on victims to surface deepfakes and request removals, seemingly mostly because Google only proactively removes web results when content directly conflicts with the law or its content policies. While I'm usually highly critical of Google, it seems like they're already doing what they reasonable can? Google isn't hosting this content. Passing legislation is a necessary first step. Do we really want to set a precedent where Google is expected to proactively censors content that is, for all intents and purposes, legal?
