alt Hacker NewsGoogle practically never shows explicit images to anyone anymore anyway. Even bing doesn't anymore. I feel like we've returned to a more prude society, at least on the mainstream internet.

Even duckduckgo started censoring their results! Although very subtly. My friend (really) showed me an explicit search query with the safe search turned off that I then compared with yandex, and was really surprised how different they were. Nothing explicit on DDG, even though it included the word "hentai".
(I am aware this is not really related to the article. I think this is a cool discussion to be had)
The article mentions they're introducing a new way to request the removal of non-consensual explicit images on Search
the key bit is non-consensual, so it's unrelated to individual morality and they're providing a way to report a real crime
I don't think it's prudish to want the ability to take down deepfakes of you naked or leaked images of you.
