I did a bit more testing. It seems to be a limitation of Google's database.
You get the same 2007 cut off for searches such as "Katy Perry" or "Kim Kardashian" as well.
I don't think most people are aware that google images only goes back to 2008. Seems noteworthy.
Specifically, under tools, I left start range blank and set end range to 2007. I get 0 results for VPN via Atlanta & CA. I also tried it under private browsing with same results.
You get plenty of results for before 2007?
I was thinking it might be regional censorship, but I'm not so sure after I tested CA too.
idk what this is, except most likely scrubbing of some kind.
I'm on my phone so I didn't do date ranges. Instead I put his name and 2007 and saw some older photos of him, some with Kimberly, etc. Then I changed the year to 2009 just to see and got a lot of photos. More recent stuff too, not just 2009. I thought you were looking at how he physically changed, but that's weird if the search is doing that to you.

go to google images and search for all Gavin Newsom images before 2008 then set the range to before 2007
What did you notice?

I noticed he looks more thin and frail. Did he start smoking crack?

I get essentially endless results for before 2008 I get 0 search results for before 2007
This may be info on google censoring if your results are different. I ran the query on Firefox browser with VPN to Atlanta.

Weird? Why is that you think?
