Google makes it easier to monitor and remove personal information on the search

Google has redesigned its results through its function with a tool with which users have more control over personal information that is displayed in the search.

The new proactive monitoring rationalizes the existing function of the company with which users notify and enable users with marked search results that contain their personal data such as telephone numbers and addresses to apply for the distance. Directly in the search itself, users can now select immediately from extended distance options by simply clicking on the three points next to each result.

In addition, users have the option of requesting an update for an outdated search result-Z. B. a search overview in which old information has also been listed for a website that has since been refamed, which asks Google's systems to create the page for relevant information. To request an update, users can click on the same three points and “I want to request an update”.

Google started 2023 results through you, a tool that improves the privacy of the online private sphere of users and may prevent digital doxxing. At that time, the company published new functions to treat revenge porn and options in order to blur explicit images next to the new surveillance tool.

In the middle of a flood of search factualizations (contained persons that were operated by generative AI in 2024), Google announced additional initiatives to combat misinformation and non -matters to the search, including new guidelines for imposing the distribution of explicit deeper Ai-enhanced misinformation. The company was shot in December because it had updated its platform program and advertising guidelines in order to enable “digital fingerprints” of its users.
