One of the issue is that Google is not neutral to these results: the bot went out its way to index these pages, give exposure, and if any single person posting these videos can’t be found and sued to force them to remove it completely it will stay online forever.
In other words the asymmetry between posting something online and having it removed is exacerbated by Google exposing any copies of the information that could otherwise get lost in some random site.
Wouldn’t it be fair for Google to also provide decent support the to remove content from its index ?
From the article Google is doing some effort, just clearly not enough.
> Google’s policies dictate only two instances when they will remove content — child pornography and copyright-infringement requests.
> The current policy says Google may remove nude or sexually explicit images that were shared without consent, but the company maintains sole discretion about when to remove nonconsensual pornography.
