That's just a lazy meme take, there's obviously a documented process to request removal of content from their products, including Search. https://support.googl

  The request process is indeed easy enough. Now, if you also expect it having results, guess what.

    The GP's complaint was about not being able to notify Google at all, not at not getting the right outcome. I'm pretty sure submissions to that form will have (trained) human eyes on them after some trivial spam filtering, it's not just redirected to /dev/null. As for whether one could expect results, there are stats on how often this functionality is used in the EU (about 200k requests per year) and how often it is successful (about half the requested URLs are delisted): https://transparencyreport.google.com/eu-privacy/overview?hl=en https://transparencyreport.google.com/eu-privacy/overview?hl...

      Not correct, the original lawsuit (from 2015) was predicated on the fact that she had indeed opened a removal request, and Google denied it, saying they could do nothing without the cooperation of the website owner (RipoffReport).

        What is 'not correct' in the comment you're replying to?
