Google to remove revenge porn sites from search

Revenge-porn-thumb-1

Google has taken a big step toward protecting victims of revenge porn. In the coming weeks, the search giant will begin honoring requests from victims to stop linking to websites that host the damaging content in searches

Google can't remove the content themselves, that's up to those who run the sites. But the revenge porn sites will not be listed, so those types of sites will be much harder to find. It will be a "narrow and limited policy," that will work similarly to how the company handles other sensitive personal information like bank records, the company said in a statement.
