Ok... Here's something you should know.

What happened there was suppressing personal data from Google's search engine. In the EU, that is regarded as a fundamental human right. The "right to be forgotten" is exactly about hiding a shady past. The GDPR gives you the right to demand that Google must omit certain links when people search for your name. Google does comply. You don't need a court order or anything.

So, you can't celebrate the GDPR while also condemning what happened here.
