Or just avoid using google. The Pinterest results in google image search queries was a major driver to me using bing/ duck duck go.
Reverse image search is also intentionally gimped, unlike non-US jurisdiction Yandex which is quite good.
It's certainly for legal reasons, not technical, but Image Search has gotten progressively worse every year. It used to be godly effective 10 years ago.
That’s possible thanks to Microsoft’s Bing API. I’m surprised Getty (who’s afaik responsible for Google removing direct image links) only went after Google and not Microsoft.
