Google practically never shows explicit images to anyone anymore anyway. Even bing doesn't anymore. I feel like we've returned to a more prude society, at least

Google practically never shows explicit images to anyone anymore anyway. Even bing doesn't anymore. I feel like we've returned to a more prude society, at least on the mainstream internet.

I don't think it's prudish to want the ability to take down deepfakes of you naked or leaked images of you.

    The article is about removing non-consensual sexually explicit images and deepfakes

      And on whom falls the burden of proof that it is non-consensual or deepfake? We danced similar dance with DMCA takedowns.

        It’s a small change to an existing suite of features Google provides around preventing personal information from being exposed in search results. https://myactivity.google.com/results-about-you/ https://myactivity.google.com/results-about-you/ The burden was always on the victims.

The article mentions they're introducing a new way to request the removal of non-consensual explicit images on Search the key bit is non-consensual, so it's unrelated to individual morality and they're providing a way to report a real crime

    The GP comment is in compliance with the guideline: > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that". "You should really read the article" is semantically the same as "The article mentions that". It's not a question.

Even duckduckgo started censoring their results! Although very subtly. My friend (really) showed me an explicit search query with the safe search turned off that I then compared with yandex, and was really surprised how different they were. Nothing explicit on DDG, even though it included the word "hentai". (I am aware this is not really related to the article. I think this is a cool discussion to be had)
