RipoffReport.com Removed From the Google Index

The problematic website Ripoff Report has been completely removed from the Google Index. Based on a Google search for site:ripoffreport.com, I can now confirm that RipoffReport.com has been removed. See the screen capture below:

If you look at the search result, you’ll notice that there are notices referencing Chilling Effects:

In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org.

It’s these legal actions that have been responsible for the removal of Ripoff Report from the Google index. You can still get to their website directly, but just not through Google search.

H/T goes to Jerrod Wright.

This is a developing story, I will update as necessary…

Note that there are 3 notes at the end of this search result, referencing that they “have removed 1 result(s) from this page”. As Mr. Wright pointed out in the comments below, this may only be for a short time–the site may be back in the results at some point. It has happened before.

I wrote a while back about RipoffReport.com being removed from Google. I also wrote about them being hacked. But this is different, as there are Chilling Effects links in the search results. The info from Chilling Effects is not available online yet, as soon as it is I’ll update this post.

UPDATE:
That looks like it lasted only about an hour or less. Ripoffreport.com looks like it’s back in Google now. I’m not sure if I am hitting another data center, but I’m no longer getting the “no pages found” message, along with the Chilling Effects statements:
