Last year, Google introduced a tool that allowed users to request the removal of private information found within its search, and now, it's taking steps to further enhance users' privacy and security. is taking things a step further by extending this tool to create.
The news comes from Google's The Keyword Blog, in which the company is making changes to the Find Your Tool launched last year. When it was released, the tool gave users the ability to remove private information such as personal phone numbers, home addresses, and email addresses from Google searches. The same tool has now evolved and will automatically monitor new personal information arriving on the Internet and alert users so that it can be removed. One thing you will notice is that the service is not fully automatic, but it may be updated in the future.
In addition, Google Search will get a new dashboard to accommodate this new feature, making it easier than ever to track and remove personal information from Google Search. For now, the tool will only be available in the United States and in English. The company says that it is working to bring this feature to more regions and languages in the future. Google is also making search a little safer by blurring graphic and adult content by default.
The new SafeSearch feature will be rolled out this month and can be disabled if needed. In addition, the company is updating its policy regarding personal clear images on the Internet, making it easier for people to remove this type of content from searches.
Google has stated that even though it can remove search results, it does not remove content from the Internet. If users wish to do so, they will have to go through other channels to accomplish this. While this may be the case, it is still a huge step forward in ensuring privacy that many will be happy about.
