You're confusing two stories.  Or I am, or both.  There's another story
out there about a geezer who requested Google no longer index his story
due to his right to be forgotten.  Google did so, clumsily.

This is a former or actual Google employee writing about early days of
the Streetview program.  It was still up when I visited it, but later
in the day the author removed the article, replacing it with a "this
page removed while I talk to Google lawyers."  In the comments he made
it clear when responding to someone that the lawyers had threatened him
with nastiness, and he was not planning to republish the text.  (Had I
known, I'd have copied the thing whole-hog and posted on Usenet for the
win!).

First is clumsy policy.  Second is aggressive, menacing corporate lawyers.
