How, even in principle, would google prevent a person from seeing legal documents? Most (all?) jurisdictions publish them on the web themselves? https://www.courtlistener.com/ is great.

I'm not arguing Google are censoring legal documents. But let's take this trend in that direction...
1. How would the average person find that website? A search engine perhaps?
2. How many search engines does the average person use? One, perhaps? Which one?

1. Well, I just told you about them. It's old fashioned, but talking to people works wonders. You're not the first person I've encouraged to go directly to legal documents.
2. Probably the median person uses several -- google, facebook, and the like.

Nobody has accused Google of burying search results about these court cases, so you can't reasonably pretend that's the debate we're having. Please keep the goalposts static, so we can discuss productively.
