Google allows it to happen because its technically not possible using algorithms to make a judgement about what content should be there and should not.
I'm not the only one who thinks this. There is a special law in Europe called the right to be forgotten that would apply to this.
Do you want to allow a pitfall like this to exist or do you want to try and stop it?
This guy has a legitimate complaint. The sites he posted on are likely setup to extort the victims. You can probably pay through third parties to get the posts removed. No one would care if Google didn't rank these posts high and put the images in their results. They are facilitating the extortion.
I see tons of little guys on the web defending Google. The truth is they are willing to totally invade people's privacy if that's necessary to perpetuate their business model. And their PR efforts have been so good everyone defends them.
It's funny until it happens to you and it can VERY easily.
