Google announced on April 27 that the public can now submit removal requests for additional Google Search results containing personal information. The company previously had a very high bar for getting results with sensitive info wiped away. It can be frightening to have your email address, phone number, or home address pop up in a search result, and you need to take action to protect your privacy.
In addition to the removal of personal information, Google is considering removal requests for images of minors, deepfake pornography, and other explicit content. Although getting results scrubbed from Google Search won’t remove web pages from the internet, it will divert one of the biggest drivers of traffic.
