Summary:

"That said, the latest order, unlike the first one, gives the American Chemical Society some serious legal ammunition. It grants the society the right to demand search engines like Google stop showing Sci-Hub in search results. And the order gives other legal fodder as well. It says that the Chemical Society may demand that "Internet search engines, Web hosting and Internet service providers, domain name registrars, and domain name registries, cease facilitating access" to Sci-Hub."
