If users need an image removed online completely, Google recommends that users contact the site's webmaster where the image is hosted for removal. However, images that are removed from Google search results are not fully removed from the internet, Google warns. "We believe this change will help give young people more control over their digital footprint and where their images can be found on Search," the company's post said. Google did not respond to Insider's request to comment. Once the image removal request is approved, it will no longer appear in the images tab or as thumbnails in any feature in Google Search and submitters will receive a notification, according to a Google blog post explaining the feature.
For example, YouTube, which is owned by Google, is making its "take a break" and bedtime reminders default for all users ages 13 to 17 and limiting the visibility of videos posted by its younger users.Īll requests will be reviewed by Google and its team may reach out for additional information for verification if needed. Google originally announced increased protections for children and teens in August, allowing younger internet users to have safer avenues on the internet. This policy change was enacted on Wednesday and is part of what the company says is its larger shift towards protecting younger users on its platforms. Google is allowing anyone under the age of 18, or their parent or guardian, to remove their images from search results.
