Many South Korean victims of deepfake pornography, which involves digitally altering images or videos to create the illusion of explicit content featuring individuals without their consent, turned to Google to request the removal of such content. These individuals sought help from the search engine to delete links and content that had been published without their knowledge or approval. Google shared information related to these removal requests with a research center in the United States affiliated with Harvard Law School. This institution, which studies internet governance and digital rights, published the data on its website. The published information included personal details of the victims, such as their names, workplaces, phone numbers, and the messages they had sent to Google requesting the removal of the content. One of the victims, quoted by the South Korean newspaper Hankyoreh, described the emotional toll of the situation. She said, "I feel sexually humiliated, and my life has become impossible due to this extreme suffering. I ask you to immediately delete the URL related to me and remove it from search results." The publication of such sensitive personal information raised serious privacy concerns and sparked a reaction from South Korean authorities. On August 25, the Hankyoreh newspaper alerted South Korean authorities about the situation, prompting them to request the removal of the data from the American company. Thirteen days later, the company complied with the request and agreed to delete the information from its website. This incident highlighted the challenges of balancing free speech, digital privacy, and the protection of individuals from online harms.
