Google announced it is blocking targeted advertising for anyone under 18 years old, Reuters reports. The technology company is also turning off its "location history" for young users and is introducing a policy for users to request the removal of children's images from Google Image search results. "Of course, removing an image from Search doesn’t remove it from the web, but we believe this change will help give young people more control of their images online," Google said in a blog post. Meanwhile, retailer Poshmark said Apple's app tracking changes have impacted its revenue.
