When they are, then Google can be required or requested to remove them.
Until that time, removing posts just because someone objects to them
raises serious First Amendment questions, at least in the U.S.


Another stupid septic that doesn't understand his own Constitution's

Accusations of defamation are legion on USENET, and they are usually
baseless.


News Service Providers in the real world have to be very confident that a
reported defamation is baseless; that's why they employ Crack Legal
Teams.
