Google has strengthened privacy features on Search, making it easier for users to remove non-consensual explicit images and sensitive personal information, including driver’s licenses, passports, or Social Security numbers.
Users can now click the three dots next to an image in Search, select “Remove result,” and then choose “It shows a sexual image of me.” Multiple images can be selected in a single request, eliminating the need to report each image individually. Google also allows users to opt into proactive safeguards that help block similar explicit content from appearing in future searches.
The updated “Results about you” tool lets users create a monitoring profile by entering personal information they want Google to track, such as full name, home address, phone number, email, and sensitive IDs. After reviewing and confirming the details, Google automatically scans Search results for matches.
If the user’s information is found, they receive a notification via the app or email and can request removal directly through the tool. All requests can be tracked in the “Results about you” hub. Google assures that all data is encrypted and protected under its high-security protocols, giving users more control over their personal information and stronger safeguards against misuse online.
