Google Now Won't Use Spam Reports With Personally Identifying Information
"Google noted it 'further clarified' to 'address feedback we received about the change on using spam reports to take manual action.'"
"Don't include any personally identifying information in your submission. To comply with regulations, we must send the submission text to the site owner to help them understand the context of a manual action, if one is issued."
"Google won't process your submission if we determine it contains personally identifying information to protect privacy."
Google recently updated its spam report policy, initially allowing all information to be sent to site owners. Following user backlash, Google reverted this change, stating that submissions containing personally identifying information will not be processed. A new guideline emphasizes not including such information to ensure privacy and compliance with regulations. The update aims to help site owners understand the context of manual actions while safeguarding user data.
