The digitally changed image had appeared as the top search result when the words “Michelle Obama” were put into the Google Images search engine, and was posted on a blog hosted by the Google-owned blog service, Blogger.
Yesterday, the blog’s owner detached the image and displayed an apology in Chinese with a very loose English translation.Google had refused to remove the picture from its picture search listings, despite complaints that it was racist, instead opting to run an ad next to it explaining its strategy on how search engine results work. In a statement in the advert, the company said its results “can contain disturbing content, even from inoffensive queries”.
“We apologize if you’ve had a hurtful experience using Google,” it said. “Google views the honesty of our search results as an exceptionally important priority. Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it.”
Offensive Image Of Michelle Obama
A spokesman for Google said the blog and picture might still appear in Google Images searches, but it was coming out of the search engine’s indexing system. Google warned the image could easily reappear in its listings if another blog posted it. It is not the initial time Google has published explanation ads against search queries. In 2004, when the word “Jew” returned anti-Semitic results, Google responded the same way.
