Google Expands ‘Results About You’ to Shield IDs, Fight Deepfake Abuse

Google announced expanded Search safety tools that let users monitor and request removal of results exposing sensitive identifiers (e.g., driver’s license, passport, SSN) and streamline reporting of non-consensual explicit images, including AI-generated deepfakes; users enroll via the “Results about you” hub to get alerts, batch-submit removals, and enable proactive filtering of similar content. The features launch in the U.S. first, reduce discoverability rather than delete source data, and respond to rising identity theft and online harassment.
