Re: What's the alleged point?
So what exactly is the alleged effect/benefit of the delisting?
It's not always the person you think that requested the story to be delisted for their name. Sometimes, it has been people who just commented on the article.
That said, it could be that people were not thorough when they did their request; if I understand correctly, they need to list every single url that they want removed, so they might have forgotten a few or dismissed them as not worth the trouble.
