I can tell you of a public figure's kid in another country whose camera was stolen and nude pictures were put up of him in another country. Nobody knows who did it but the pictures are hosted outside the country on a provider who doesn't care. They do know that considerable black hat SEO was put into making this a #1 result for the public figure. (I apologize for being intentionally vague but this is a source of embarrassment to the family.)
Trolls can be assholes. Google seems to favor the troll.
- magicalist 15y agoMany systems do. In the US, people advocating for mandatory sentencing say the same thing about the justice system, and the RIAA and the MPAA say the same thing about the DMCA safe harbor and takedown notice provisions. Outside of getting google to enforce sanctions against whatever "black hat SEO" methods were used, asking Google to act in that case would appear to be asking Google to settle on a single notion of the limits of free speech and defamation when entire countries of people clearly cannot. I'm not sure putting Google in charge of that is a good idea. (With this sort of thing you start to see why country-specific censorship occurs and may be the best of a set of terrible solutions. See also "the right to forget" vs US court decisions on free speech that is only going to come up more and more)
- jxi 15y agoYou should propose a workable solution before making statements like "Google seems to favor the troll". How would you solve this problem given that manually removing the results are probably out the question for legal reasons?
