Google Helps Victims of Revenge Porn

It's about time someone helps victims of revenge porn.  And that someone is Google.

If there are pictures of someone naked on the Internet without their permission, that person can request that Google removes the pictures from the search engine.

Finally, request from a victim will now be honored by Google.

I have no idea why it was so difficult before but it's good that the process is changing and a victim's rights are being recognized.

The community on Reddit is already talking about this decision.

Basically, Google can't control the Internet and remove all naked photographs from various websites, but they can control the search engine to find those unwanted photographs.

Tippin' my hat to Google for making it official.  Victims' voices will be heard.
