Top non-ad google result for "polymarket" in Australia is a crypto scam

Querying

https://www.google.com/search?q=polymarket

in Australia leads straight to a crypto scam. The scam website (polymarkets.*) seems to be 'organically' on the top. Perhaps this is because polymarket is banned in Aus?

    Surely banning the scam website instead of the real website would do more to protect Australians, no?

    It'll get worse, I wrote an article about this recently: https://codeinput.com/blog/google-seo

    tl;dr: With AI, Google mixing results from different places. But these are not human-verified and thus you can hijack someone else result.
