Two actions with different effects
Delisting removes a result from a search engine. Removal at the source seeks to take the publication off the website or platform hosting it.
What changes when a result leaves Google?
The address may stop appearing in searches covered by the decision. This does not mean the file has been deleted from the website: the content may still be accessed through a direct link or found through other means.
Why consider the source?
When the publication remains available, removing only the search result does not end every form of access. The assessment should therefore also consider who hosts the content.
Delisting and removal at the source can complement each other. Neither one, on its own, proves that every copy has been eliminated.
How do you choose an approach?
The strategy depends on the nature of the content, the grounds for the request and each service's policies. Understand online reputation assessment.
