I just want to know why Google Images shows Pinterest at all. It is clearly misleading and just ripping images from other sites which should be the real results. Its almost like if Google search has decayed and Images is piggybacking off of Pinterest on purpose.

My guess would be that pinterest has done a much better job of image indexing than your random DIY blog. I'm not sure what all that entails but if anyone has done research to game the system it would be them.

I imagine explicitly excluding images from Pinterest creates some legal issue, if not from Pinterest itself then from how it's functioning as a service to let people steal images. Leaving sites like Pinterest in maybe allows them to say to Getty "it's not our fault if the host isn't taking measures to protect your content"

They don't have to exclude it, they can deprioritize it. It's done with other content.

Easy way to get hit with even more antitrust suits. Better to just leave it alone.
