I think your characterization is a straw man. Nobody is arguing that Google shouldn't comply with court decisions. The question is what should happen when an individual comes to Google with a complaint, before they have sought any legal verdict. How is Google supposed to decide whether a claim is true or false? Even if it were their responsibility to determine what counts as defamation, how would we prevent people abusing that system to take down legitimate content they don't like? Do we want tech companies making decisions like this independently of the legal system?
