A Google Web Search Help thread had a solo post from a user upset to see a nude topless image show up in the knowledge graph box for a search for [kierston wareing]. I checked it last night, when it was first mentioned in the thread and indeed there was a topless image of Kierston Wareing showing in the top right section of the knowledge graph.
This morning, when I checked again, to my surprise, the image was completely removed. Here is a screen shot:
Last time this happened, it took days for it to be removed. Typically when people report inappropriate images in Google, it takes Google a lot of time to remove it.
I wonder if this was removed manually or Google has better checks in place to remove inappropriate images based on some sort of reporting algorithm?
In any event, it is nice to see Google clean up this nude knowledge graph image within 24 hours.
