Google is launching new privacy tools that will give users more control over their online personal images and help them remove explicit or graphic imagery of themselves that they no longer wish to be visible in searches. The new feature will also apply to websites containing personal information. A dashboard will let users know what search results display their contact information, and they can quickly request the removal of these results from Google. The tool will send a notification when a user's information appears in new search results. The features are being released in the US initially.
