I can’t find any indication this was deemed defamatory in a court of law until this ruling. Did I miss it? My whole point is that Google has to remove anything

I can’t find any indication this was deemed defamatory in a court of law until this ruling. Did I miss it? My whole point is that Google has to remove anything the moment somebody asks, because if it is later determined to be defamatory by a court, they’ll be liable. That appears to be what happened here, unless I missed something.

That's a fair point. It's implied to be defamatory but not explicitly cited as legally defamatory. If that's so, then I completely agree with you. I'm going to try to search around and see if there's more information about this. For example, did the man in question try to sue the website and get it removed? (I realize this isn't always possible.)
