According to media source, a high profile lawyer added:

“Google knows the images are hacked stolen property, private and confidential photos and videos unlawfully obtained and posted by pervert predators who are violating the victims’ privacy rights”.

In response, Google stated: “Our turnaround is generally hours, not weeks.”

“Of course people continue to post these images on the web, so - like other online services - we rely on people notifying us to help us take them down, whether by flagging content, or filing DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) requests.”

As for search, the web giant says it has historically taken a different approach — removing items when they receive valid copyright notices.
