I wrote last week about an attempt to vanish my article about an attempt to vanish my article about an attempt to vanish other articles ("attempt to vanish" here referring to asking Google to remove items from its indexes, so that they disappear from search results). Now I see an attempt to vanish that article as well, submitted the day I posted the article. For more details, I reproduce that article below.
Of course, I'm not the only target of this attempted vanishing campaign. The backstory is that a somewhat noted lawyer Kelly Hyman (see, e.g., this 2021 People story) had sued her father and former Miami Beach mayor Alex Daoud, which led to a good deal of media coverage (see, e.g., this CBS News story).
In 2020 and 2021, there were attempts to get those stories discussing the lawsuit deindexed by Google; I wrote about those attempts. In recent months, there have been five more such attempts, including the one linked to in the first paragraph, the one I wrote about last week, and the ones here, here, and here.
