Jake Roberson, vice president and director of Communications at NCOSE, mentioned in the Zoom announcement event that Google had improved on the issue of combating sexually exploitative content.

This included making their Chromebook product safer for children, improving Wi-Fi filter tools for graphic content, and halting Google Ads that are pornographic in nature. Roberson also commended Google for holding meetings with survivors of sex trafficking.

However, Roberson continued, Google made the list in 2022 for having a search engine that still “facilitates access to sexual abuse content, including graphic videos and images of sex trafficking, child sexual abuse, and racist and rape scene pornography.”

“Google has failed to implement survivor-centered practices to remove non-consensually recorded and shared sexual content from Google search results,” he added.

“There is absolutely zero reason rape-themed searches should be yielding any pornographic sites, and it is irresponsible for Google to permit these websites to be indexed in Google search at all.”
