SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 26: A sign is posted in front of a Google office on April 26, 2022 in San Francisco, California. is expanding its content policy to allow user requests for removing personal phone numbers, email addresses and other identifiable information from search results.
The search giant announced the changes in a blog post this week, noting that it already allows people to ask for the take-down of sensitive personal information, like bank account or credit card numbers, or in cases of doxxing.
There are some caveats, according to the blog post. If the information is public record and searchable on government or official websites, Google won’t remove the content. And if it’s part of a web page with "information that is broadly useful," like news articles, for example, Google may not grant your request.Removing content from a search engine won’t take it off the internet. It just won’t pop up when you search on Google.
As usual, advertising funneled through Google’s dominant search engine and a vast network that snakes through most of the digital economy. Google’s ad sales totaled $54.7 billion, during the first quarter, a 22% increase from the same time last year.
