After Twitter, Google says stop at “revenge porn”. This practice is to publish nauseating images
sexually explicit of a person that we know without her
authorization for revenge.
The giant will thus dereference links that provide access to these images on request of the victims. “We heard many disturbing stories of ‘revenge porn’, where a person seeking to publicly humiliate her ex-partner will publish on the Internet of intimate images,” explains Amit Singhal of Google, which emphasizes that the phenomenon is the magnitude.
“Some images are found on blackmail used sites (sextorsion) where people are forced to pay for the pictures to be removed,” he relates.
“Our philosophy has always been that research reflects what the Internet as a whole. But the revenge-porn (…) only serves to degrade the victims, mostly women, “said Amit Singhal.
The delisting is a first step, but it does not solve the problem. “These images will remain on the sites. But responding to inquiries from people who want to remove the search results can help.”
In March, it’s Twitter that was attacking this ‘practice’. Accounts that users publish “photos or videos
Intimate taken or published without the consent of the person “will be
blocked, it said in the new conditions of use.
To unlock the account, it will remove the offending content.
Twitter and warns that such content and account information
will be transmitted to the authorities in the proceedings related to
a complaint.
