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?
