a google search isn't any more defamatory than a library card catalog.

google is just showing you what's out there.

So long as they're merely showing you what's out there, sure. If they're actively trying to censor some things associated with liabilities that ought not apply to someone merely showing what's out there then they're taking responsibility for the content they publish.

Since Google does censor and fudge search results, they've accepted responsibility for the content they publish. The ruling got it wrong.

I would argue that it shouldn't apply, since if google could afford to and could ignore the US Gov, they wouldn't censor.
