Should Google completely remove websites that it suspects are hacked/serving malware?
— Colin McDermott (@colinmcdermott) 30. November 2018
36% said that Google should remove these websites from the index. 64% said that it’s enough to warn hacked websites.
Google says it’s not an either/or question

Fwiw I don't see this as something that is either/or, there are times to do one or the other.
