Summary: Google has long been responsive to court orders demanding the removal of content, if they re justified. Google has fought back against dubious orders originating from right to be forgotten demands from outside the US, and has met no small amount of DMCA abuse head on. But, generally speaking, Google will do what s asked if there s a legal basis for the asking.
But not everyone approaching Google acts in good faith. First, there are any number of bad actors hoping to game the system to juice their Google search rankings.
For a couple of years, these bad actors managed to make some search engine optimization (SEO) inroads. They were able to fraudulently obtain court orders demanding the removal of content. The worst of these companies didn t even bother to approach courts. They forged court orders and sent these to Google to get negative listings removed from search results.
SURAT: A 24-year-old air conditioner mechanic was arrested on Saturday for allegedly creating and sharing defamatory content on social media about his ex-fiancé to break off his engagement.
The accused Jaydeep Tarsariya was booked following a complaint lodged by his 22-year-old ex-fiancé. Tarsariya had created two fake Instagram accounts and shared objectionable photos and text about her. He was traced through the IP address of the devices that he used to share the defamatory material.
According to police, Tarsariya who had studied up to Class X, got engaged to the woman who is an art graduate under family pressure earlier this year. He wanted to end the relationship but couldn’t convince his parents, so he planned to defame her. He showed the screenshot of the dummy account to his and the girl’s family and called off the engagement in October 2020.
