Google is trying to make it easier for minors to remove images of themselves from search results.

“We know that children and teens face some unique challenges online, especially when a photo of them is unexpectedly available on the Internet,” the company said in a blog post Wednesday.

In short, minors or their guardians can fill out a form with image URLs, search results queries, and search results page URLs. The Google post also noted that this doesn’t mean the images have disappeared from the internet.

This comes at a time when tech companies are facing greater scrutiny over their effects on children.

The policy was originally announced in August.
