Submit a request to have it removed. Lawyer up if the site doesn’t comply. If the site is overseas and doesn’t comply, then you’ll have to just deal with it. Google even has their own methods to have a URL removed. I’ve done this before myself. I agree content should have mechanisms which allow takedowns to occur. Taking Google’s approach and delisting certain websites from their search results seems a bit much (this refers to the mass censorship in my original comment)

Stories like this cater to people who aren’t savvy enough to do the work to get the content removed. I said I miss when the internet felt more dangerous and wasn’t catered to casuals. I think both of us have the same beliefs, I just think there should be a bit more freedom online, but these “platforms” are publicly traded companies now, so my thoughts don’t matter.
