That's more down to Google's policy of eagerly contacting media organisations who are affected by this measure. Google know full well that if they contact the BBC or the NYT or Reuters or whoever, and say "oh, we had to censor some search results involving your site", that those companies will immediately write articles howling about the fact, thus negating the intent of the legal precedent, and seeding useful talking points to get people criticising it all. After all, how dare people have privacy. In at least one case, the article being covered up was not due to a request by the subject of the article but from one of a few hundred commenters beneath the article. (Which could be an interesting attack vector, in the right circumstances.)
