I'm curious how Google notifies people about things like this... do they pull an email out of whois, or your DNS SOA? If there's nothing linking your website

I'm curious how Google notifies people about things like this... do they pull an email out of whois, or your DNS SOA? If there's nothing linking your website to a Google account, it seems like they could just make your website disappear.

  > So imagine my surprise when I was notified that Google removed the article from its search results You know you can just read the linked articles, right? Edit: parent has edited their post, it used to say something like "google has never notified anyone about such things".

    I have received notifications for stories published by the org I work at when they were delisted for certain terms. Like here, it’s people who got caught doing disreputable things and trying to cleanup their online presence.

Many sites have setup Google Search Console and so you can be notified through that.

  That was what I was referring to... if you never set it up, I guess you'll never know then?
