JAMES Bulger's mum has won a landmark victory by persuading Google to tighten its rules on images of dead children.
Denise Fergus called for action after TikTok allowed users to post sick Al-generated content of her murdered two-year-old son James.
The videos were also accessible on Google, which is the world's biggest internet search engine.
Bosses at the technology firm have pledged that from tomorrow they will rid such images from its platforms, including YouTube.
The creepy videos, which appeared last year and were highlighted by the Mirror, included an avatar of James talking about his murder.
Denise, 54, said: "I am so relieved about the implementation of new rules on AI-generated content featuring deceased minors
"Last year, I was horrified to discover individuals were creating and posting Al-generated videos of my beloved James.
