Was using Google this morning to search escorts in my local area and didn’t see the option to search the E&B site.

At the bottom of the page was a message saying that a complaint had been made under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) resulting in the removal of 2 results from the page.

I was able to see the complaint. It related to stolen and unauthorised use of images.
The original URL belonged to Scarlet Blue and the allegedly offending 996 URLs were being allegedly used by E&B.

Good on the complainant for exposing blatant photo stealing. Should be more of it.

for anyone who's interested, google's dashboard shows a lot more detail
https://transparencyreport.google.com/copyright/domains/escortsandbabes.com.au?hl=en

although you'd need to request a specific report they link to through Lumen if you want the specific takedown request details
eg. https://lumendatabase.org/notices/23336902

for what it's worth - those '996 offending URLs' are for 965 E&B and 27 skokka URLs, all of them just generic 'suburb' listings: eg
//au.skokka.com/escorts/ipswich/
//www.escortsandbabes.com.au/Directory/WA/Albany/6330/Any/All/
... and one for every different suburb

I'm sure there are stolen photos on the site, but to me that looks like pure trolling from whoever lodged the complaint, and I highly doubt any of them will result in action.
