Google's Content Removal Policy
Removing someone else' content on Google is difficult

as a protected opinion.

Defamatory contents are common, and almost every company or
business has to face it once in a while. However, too much negative posts about
you or your company tend to dominate the search rankings, and when someone

negative posts get accumulated, the more they climb up in search rankings. This
spread of negativity can adversely affect your reputation and might affect you
on a personal and emotional level as well.

Google. You can visit the Google Legal Removal Requests page, to begin
with, the removal process. On that page, you can search for defamatory search
results and then select "I have a legal issue." However, this process
needs to be done after obtaining the court order.

process mentioned above. On the Google Legal Removal Requests page, you will
find a section that says "If you have a court order that declares that the
content of a web page ranked by Google is illegal, kindly follow the
instructions on the court order form.” From there, you will be asked to follow
specific steps which will lead you to a solution.

you can mention it in your complaint, and if not, you have to rely on the court
procedures to track the website used for defamation and its IP address.

summon the internet service provider and ask the identity associated with the
IP address. Once the identity is revealed, you can formally name it in the
lawsuit. After filing the lawsuit, you will proceed either through a trial or a
settlement and then come out of the court indicating and confirming that the
content uploaded against you is defamatory and should be removed.
