Google helps you get rid of intimate photos

Google making it easier to get rid of THOSE pictures.

Yes, it’s come to this: Google has just announced a new feature, which will make it easier for people to have their nudes (as in “U up? send nudes“) removed from search results.

U Up? Send Nudes:

Admit it: You had a few too many White Claws, and you sent the good-looking guy in IT – ok, in the Executive Offices – that you dated, some sexy pictures.

Or maybe after you chatted with ‘tomatofarmer” a few times on Farmers Only, you sent her a picture of your – umm – tractor?

Now this is not for current or former porn stars, or if you have an OnlyFans page, and it is a business. It’s actually for YOU – real, everyday people!

The fact is, sometimes very smart people post personal, sexually explicit photos, without realizing that they can lose control of those images online.

You Deleted Them, But They’re Still Out There:

If you posted them on a website, blog, or social media, and later deleted them, someone out there, or even a BOT could’ve grabbed them before you took them down. And in turn, they could have posted them elsewhere on the internet. And that can be a major problem if they’re coming up in search results somehow.

So Google has graciously launched a form you can fill out, where you can let them know if there’s an intimate photo of you online that you’d like to have removed.

Remember though: It won’t work if you’ve consensually done business with a naughty website in the past, like OnlyFans, and you’re making money from the images you post online. Again, it has to be a personal photo, not a commercialized one.

It’s a good policy that can help in the case of “revenge porn,” where exes will often try to get back at one another by posting those pictures that were supposed to only be meant for that ONE person. Though Google already had things in place to help people with that. This is an expansion of those kinds of protections.

So, if you indeed “sent nudes,” at one time – you know have something to help!

Do You Know Your Social Media Abbreviations?

Social Media Abbreviations are a whole language now.

This might wind up being a test, to either make you feel old – or young if you nail it. Below are the most popular abbreviations people use online.

Millennials and Gen-Zers of the world have taken technology and run with it, which is understandable considering they are the ones who grew up with it literally at their fingertips. They are natives to the worlds of technology, whereas the generations before them are all immigrants to the world of technology.

Do you wonder why so many things are abbreviated now? Believe it or not, people didn’t start abbreviating just to look cool. It actually started because of social media character limits.

Twitter is especially known for this because the platform used to only allow up to 140 characters in a single tweet, leaving lost tweeters to figure out how to make their messages short, sweet and to the point.

As Twitter was mostly being used by millennials and Gen-Zers in the beginning, they started to create their own language, with abbreviations. Twitter now allows up to 280 characters in a tweet, but the abbreviations aren’t going away any time soon, because they have become their own language.

Sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with all the latest slang, but I’m here to help!

So, here are some of the most popular internet abbreviations that are commonly used online, and definitely in text messages, so you don’t have to keep scratching your head in confusion every time you get a text from your kids.

If you’re paying attention even a little, you probably know a lot of these. Like LOL – “laugh out loud,” (no Aunt Mildred, it’s not “lots of love,” but thank you!) and FYI means “for your information”

Great start! But how many of these other ones do you know? Here’s a ranking – we’ll start out easy, then get a little harder.

In Real Life. This is when you need to give someone a dose of a reality check. You can use it in the context of “in real life, this wouldn’t be a big deal.”

Not Safe for Work. This one seems to be used during the golden age of texting abbreviations, which can be said to be around 2007 – 2010. This is when we were truly communicating through shorthanded abbreviations and keyboard emojis.

Talk To You Later. This is another great one that you can still use either in a sarcastic manner or a real-life meaning.
