It probably doesnt work anymore (i hope) as it was long ago. One of my domains pointing at a static website for years vanished from the index after someone flooded usenet with a list of urls. These ended up in google groups and found their way into the search index. Typing the domain into the search box (to my annoyance) produced countless such results. Then everything vanished leaving only nonsensical results. When asked they couldn't say why but put it back.

For the record, this is in regards to someone named "Maury Blackman" and the ur-article is here: https://jackpoulson.substack.com/p/the-covert-gig-work-surve...

Sounds like a journalist complaining about someone they're harassing being able to escape the harassment.

Not really sure this is news worthy?

Not a lawyer, but prior to the Van Buren decision I think this would have fallen under CFAA.
