**[Pollen (CEO Negus-Fancey, CTO Wright) tried to remove article, and Google helped](
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48716902)**
Pollen CEO Callum Negus-Fancey and CTO Bradley Wright are accused of attempting to remove a critical 2022 article detailing the company's collapse, including issues like unpaid wages and a $3.2M double charge. The author claims Google assisted by removing the original article from its search results based on a "bogus" copyright infringement claim, despite the author being the copyright holder. This incident, the author argues, demonstrates a clear abuse of Google's copyright removal system to suppress factual, negative information.
