that more types of content such as personal contact information like phone numbers, email and physical addresses be removed from search results.
The company said in a statement that open access to information is vital, “but so is empowering people with the tools they need to protect themselves and keep their sensitive, personally identifiable information private.” But information increasingly pops up in unexpected places and is used in new ways, so policies need to evolve, the company said.
