These techniques are also used by everyday “boring” brands to sink bad reviews and similar. In many cases it’s primarily US-based companies that are leveraging some of these EU protections in addition to all the copyright/DMCA stuff in the US. It’s not really that expensive either. You can go with a reputation management company or just use your own legal team once you’re large enough. The more-annoying part is that it is getting harder to see who and what has been taken down so it’s harder to track the information that’s being targeted and the people behind it. Google has been providing less information in the DMCA notices (they used to basically be a complete list of the offending content) - I think now they just list paths or domains but not the complete URL.

> leveraging some of these EU protections in addition to all the copyright/DMCA stuff in the US. I spent quite a bunch of time in Europe last year and would see quite a few search results noting something being removed under EU right to be forgotten legislation. Often I wondered wtf could have been removed. The law is probably abused for PR reasons, but like dmca, would cost a lot to fight and better to hope it stays under the radar and unpopular. Also saw lots of blurred out stuff on google maps, but yandex is rather willing to share the sat views of prisons and other facilities ;)
