1 week agoYou can now tell Google Search to remove your personal IDs and explicit images - but there's a catch
You've long been able to ask Google to remove certain personal information from its search results, such as your name, home address, phone number, and email address. But now the search giant has expanded the types of details it will delete in response to your request. First up, you'll soon be able to give the heave-ho to any of your government-issued IDs that pop up in a search result. That includes your passport, driver's license, and Social Security number. Right now, this option is just rolling out in the US and should hit other countries down the road.
