Google has launched a new tool to help users remove non-consensual explicit images from Search results. The feature allows users to request deletion by clicking the three dots on an image and selecting 'remove result,' then specifying the image shows sexual content of them. Users can also report images of minors or those containing personal information.

When submitting a removal request, Google immediately provides links to emotional and legal support organizations. The tool can identify whether the image is a real photo or deepfake and allows batch submissions. Users can opt into safeguards that filter similar results in Search, though unreported images remain accessible to others. The feature will roll out to most countries in the coming days.

To use the tool, users must provide personal contact information and government ID numbers through Google's 'Results about you' hub. This hub already tracks sensitive information like social security numbers, driver's licenses, and passport details in Search results. The update comes as Google discontinues its dark web monitoring service, which failed to help users take meaningful action after data breaches. These new privacy controls aim to give users more control over their online presence.
