New Ability to request removal of Personally Identifiable Information from Google Search Results

  We addressed doxxing in a cyber security presentation recently.

 To help stem the tide, Google now provides a request page for users to submit for review and perhaps removal of any PII that contains too much PII.

"Google may remove personally identifiable information (PII) that has potential to create significant risks of identity theft, financial fraud, harmful direct contact, or other specific harms,"

"This includes doxxing, which is when your contact info is shared in a malicious way."

The link to the request page:
