Re:You can now ask Google to remove your phone number, email... by dannysullivan on Friday April 29, 2022 @07:15PM (#31211701)
I work for Google Search. There is NO requirement of threat to remove anything listed as personally identifiable information on this page (such as personal contact info, medical records, login credentials, etc): https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9673730

Beyond those things listed, in some cases someone who is being threatened might feel there's additional information that someone might feel is somehow personally identifying. This is where the doxxing/threat option can be used, for something not on the list where no threat is required.

Appreciate this is confusing to some; we'll be looking at how to clarify that.
