"Reluctant" is an odd choice of words though. It suggests Google had some possible option to refuse.
"Unwilling" or "legally obligated" might describe it better.
It's hard not to see this phrasing as an attempt to spread some culpability on to Google.
- pooper 12y agoThis is what the grandparent is missing. Google is doing this because it exhausted all options of appeal and was forced to do this by law. I have no doubt that Google doesn't like being told what it can or cannot show in its search results.
- kybernetikos 12y agoReluctant seems perfectly cromulent here. Pretty much any definition includes 'unwilling', and the word itself in its original form contains the image of struggling against something. In some ways it's more appropriate than your options, because it implies that Google is fighting the implementation of the law as far as it can.
