Google users can now request to unlink revenge porn from its search engine

Google is joining the likes of Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter to put a stop to revenge porn circling on their portals. Google plans to scrub search results of “nude or sexually explicit images” that are shared without consent. But you’re going to have to request from Google to have these links removed, similar to the company’s existing form to request the removal of sensitive information.

“Our philosophy has always been that Search should reflect the whole web. But revenge porn images are intensely personal and emotionally damaging, and serve only to degrade the victims—predominantly women,” wrote Amit Singhal, SVP of Google Search, in a blog post released Friday.

You might still be able to get your hands on the original iPad mini at third-party resellers but that probably will only last until leftover stocks run out.
