not even a good job of blaming the victim. OP's use of a name isn't responsible for this. It isn't the name on the book. People reading the book wouldn't have reason to think it was about a pastor in another country. And in the other direction, people looking up that pastor by name would not be immediately let to the book. OP might not have "claimed" the 'knowledge' panel, but they certainly did work very hard to have it taken down or removed. The harm here is pretty much entirely due to google.

I knew someone would try to say I was victim blaming. OP IS NOT THE VICTIM HERE. OP's namesakes are the victims here. > OP's use of a name isn't responsible for this. It isn't the name on the book. People reading the book wouldn't have reason to think it was about a pastor in another country. And in the other direction, people looking up that pastor by name would not be immediately let to the book. That is indeed the name of the Author that is on the book. I often google Authors of books I've read. And if you're a crazy person who harrasses women who write about cults and rape and other things. You would probably Google the Author's name too and see that Author and then follow the rabbit down the hole. > OP might not have "claimed" the 'knowledge' panel, but they certainly did work very hard to have it taken down or removed. I dunno, there is a link that says claim and they didn't follow through on it. And I would disagree that all the harm is done by Google. In fact out of all the actors except the victims of the harrassment they seem to be the least to blame for any harm.

Yeah, the GP said as much. Which is utterly logical: If you don't want something to exist in the first place, then of bloody course you don't want to own it.
