A big part of the rationale behind RtBF was about how advances in technology had made it harder for some individuals to escape a past scandal at all, since it would show up in all searches of their name, a de facto scarlet letter. Censoring just the easy default searches does preserve the mitigation against that effect.

One very likely still face consequencies anytime there's an incentive to check the person's background, such as when looking for a big company employment, or entering public/political life. Because, it's still few clicks away, and one doesn't need neither costly equipment, nor complex training to reveal it. Random grandma may not find it, but arguments for the law where based on the former, not on the latter.
