I don't understand. Is Australia holding Google reaponsible for the contents of search results? Because the only possible solution to that for Google is cutting off its services to Australia. Their algorithm has no way to know what content is defamatory.
It looks like it wasn't search results but web snippets. They are basically republishing stuff from other websites. They don't do it to be helpful. They do it to keep you on Google sites for longer.
It looks like she requested the removal and it was defamatory. They didn't.
I agree, websites should not be responsible for the user generated content they host. However, this was not user provided. This was Google giving answers, not search results, based on its interpretation of the web. Not only that but any suer submitted content should have moderation. Here, they are choosing not to manually moderate and paid for it.
The issue was Google refusing to remove defamatory content upon request, not them scraping and indexing the internet.
Google allow sites to tell Google crawler to not index them.
Google also removes various content that is against copyright laws.
But Google refuses to honor requests to remove defamatory content.
The same thing is happening with LLMs now as they generate defamatory fiction and several "AI" companies are being sued for it.
Sounds like a good plan
