> I have yet to reach a page where I can submit the URLs to be removed. I consider myself a neophyte technologist, since I just started a few decades ago with punch cards.

Internet literacy is probably unrelated to punch card literacy.

I followed the link in the article (from kreb) to the google blog post announcing it:

https://blog.google/products/search/new-options-for-removing...

That linked to this form:

https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/9685456?...

First you tell them what the info it (eg address Pcture SSN etc). Assuming it matches what is in the announcements as a supported type, you get an inline form asking for your name/email, then a URL to the offending site(s), query terms on google search that yield the site(s), and then optionally screenshots of the content.

After, you click a button saying you’re legally the person you’re saying you are. I don’t have data to submit in the form so i don’t know what happens next but it looks like the end. Are you sure you didn’t just submit a successful request and they redirected you to the landing page?

Disclosure: I work at G but didn’t know this existed until I heard from Kreb.

The parent commenter was using self-deprecating "humor", which I understand can be confusing for Lumon Industries innies. Your outie will appreciate it!
