Andrew Drummond's blog disappears from Google results
Over the past several months, multiple scammers have been submitting dozens and dozens of fraudulent legal complaints with Google targeting journalist Andrew Drummond’s blog after his investigative series into “Night Wish Group” about their various crimes and sex trafficking of minors in Pattaya, Thailand.
This was made easier by Google’s decision a few years ago to “automate” the processing of legal complaints, largely due to the demands that Germany and the E.U. placed on Google to expedite them. Now these fraudsters simply create dozens of fake Google accounts, and continually report Andrew Drummond’s blog as DMCA violations, CSAM, malware, and other sorts of GDPR and “illegal content” complaints.
As soon as one complaint is rejected they simply file another one. And because of Europe’s regulations, Google does not even verify the complainant’s identity first. Also, Google now allows fraudulent legal complaints in e.g. Germany or Thailand to affect search results across the entire world even though they say they don’t, so even if you’re in the US trying to research about his reporting you won’t be able to find anything unless you check Yandex.
If you search “Andrew Drummond journalist” or “Andrew Drummond Thailand” right now you will see his entire website doesn’t show up at all…
