Google billboards announce UK is searching for revenge porn sites

Eye-catching digital hoardings reveal search term among other queries such as Dismaland, Strictly Come Dancing and cricket scores

Large digital billboards around London, paid for by Google, have been spotted by the public - with a surprising revelation displayed for all to see. The brightly coloured boards - which show popular search terms being used - declared boldly that the UK "is searching for revenge porn sites".

Members of the public were informed by the loud advertisement this week that among the more mundane queries on the search engine - such as looking up Dismaland, Strictly Come Dancing and the cricket scores - there was also a darker side to searching. Revenge porn, the distribution of sexually explicit content without the consent of the people involved, was a top term tapped into keyboards.
