Because Google makes it easy to find. Nobody cares about some rant about you by an anonymous customer, or just your ex partner when it is on page 73. But if it is on page 1 and the other party refuses to take it down you just feed an endless army of lawyers.

There are other search engines and data aggregators. Making Google hide things just gives victims false peace of mind... The problem is still there.

That's when you get your page, with your side of the story, ranked #2, or at least page 1.

That's the nature of the internet. The great equalizer
