What google.com is, from the removal side
Google Search is a search surface. Surfaces reposted content for your stage name even when the host will not remove it. Copyright delisting in TCRP format, plus the separate personal-explicit-images route; results are re-checked hourly.
Route openDMCA holds: Search delisting only. generate-google-bulk exports TCRP-format delisting requests; verify-google-delisting re-checks the URL hourly. openDMCA does not claim a working host contact for google.com. Delisting removes the result, not the file — the host route runs in parallel, never instead.
RDAP probe run 2026-09-04 against the same bootstrap service the takedown dispatcher queries. It returned no RDAP service for this registry at all.

Where a takedown for google.com stalls
Delisting removes the result, not the file — the host route runs in parallel, never instead.
openDMCA routes every URL through the Removal Graph — a live map of which hosts actually remove content, how fast, and through which channel — so each takedown takes the shortest path that has historically worked for that host. For google.com that means the rungs above are not run in a fixed order: a host with fewer than a quarter of its resolved notices ending in a removal, measured over ninety days with at least five samples, is fast-pathed straight to search delisting instead of spending a second email round on it.
