I remember when people were making the case that search engines and websites (especially Google/Youtube) that were allowing copyright material to be uploaded and linked should be shut down on the lines of pirate video websites therefore using the same analogy I understand why you said that. Google and other search engines allow any nonsense to be indexed and then shared without any fear yet the people who have probably become victims after finding scams and siphoning website directly from hyperlinks have no way to accuse them.

If only... I don't blame them for the indexing. The thing is that anyone can literally pay money to have a scam website linked at the top of the results. I can literally create bitcointalk100realnotscam.com and pay google so my website shows up at the top when someone googles for "bitcointalk".
