I don’t know if Google threatening the DDG employee would change the situation. Wired published it. If their writer came back and said “I was threatened by a megacorp for my excellent work. Please take it down and tell everyone I was wrong” wired, at very least, would not issue that statement.
They haven’t been. Google’s lawyers moved to restrict trial documents from being made public, and the judge agreed to. Only a handful were briefly available prior to that ruling.

I think what’s more likely is that Google threatened the hell out of the employee.

If I understand correctly the article is a lie. The author “misunderstood” what they were reading.
