Google partners with UK nonprofit to detect and remove nonconsensual intimate images from Search


Google has been slow to adopt StopNCII's system, as its partnership with the nonprofit comes a year after Microsoft integrated the tool into Bing.

Google is partnering with the U.K. nonprofit StopNCII to bolster its efforts at combating the spread of nonconsensual intimate images, also known as revenge porn. StopNCII helps adults prevent their private images from being shared online by creating a unique identifier, or hash, representing their intimate imagery. “Our existing tools allow people to request the removal of NCII from Search, and we’ve continued to launch ranking improvements to reduce the visibility of this type of content,” Google wrote in a blog post.
