Few people know that Google voluntarily removes some search results

Because the data is there _forever_ and there's not really anything they can do about it, which stands in stark contrast to how they're used to operating.

There is no person they can throw in jail, no corporation that can be sued, no servers that can be seized, domains taken over, etc, that will result in that data no longer being available to those that know where to look for it.

The data just remains online until such a time that the coins of a given chain are worth $0.0 and coin holders no longer have a financial incentive to keep the ledger online.

FWIW the ones I talked to where more of the door kicking variety, not the 'cyber' type.

But why would they freak out about a logo?

Well I don't have any actual secret bunker blueprints or nuclear submarine specs or w/e. It was an extremely simple PoC where I gave them them an Eth txID and a link to a site like https://base64.guru/converter/decode/image/jpg

The point wasnt that I put their logo on a chain, its that I could put a photo online that the states monopoly on violence was entirely incapable of removing.
