June 19, 2015.  Google announced today it is recognizing what amounts to a private right to be forgotten for victims of revenge porn.  Revenge porn involves the publishing of nude photos of people without their consent, typically by ex-significant others who would like "revenge" against their former lovers.  Even though there is no legal right to be forgotten in the United States, Google has effectively recognized a private right to be forgotten as a matter of its own code of conduct or policy.  Google will set up a web form (similar to the form for EU right to be forgotten requests) for victims of revenge porn to request Google to remove links to the nude photographs from searches of their names on Google.  While the images will remain online (since Google doesn't host the content on third party sites), it will be harder for people to find the nude photographs and associate it with a specific person.

Amit Singhal, Senior Vice President of Search, explained: "Our philosophy has always been that Search should reflect the whole web. But revenge porn images are intensely personal and emotionally damaging, and serve only to degrade the victims—predominantly women. So going forward, we’ll honor requests from people to remove nude or sexually explicit images shared without their consent from Google Search results. This is a narrow and limited policy, similar to how we treat removal requests for other highly sensitive personal information, such as bank account numbers and signatures, that may surface in our search results."
