I'm not arguing with that.

I'm not arguing with that. But the interest here is that the search engine wants to provide quality results. The government should not be in the business of deciding what "quality results" means, at least not in the general sense. A government passing a blanket law that allows an artist to suppress honest, legal criticism is a bad law . While libel is not a criminal offense, if you make it too expensive for someone to commit it, they will stop. Maybe there's an extreme outlier here and there who might bankrupt himself with this sort of behavior, but that's not what the law should be optimizing for.
