Removing Negative Comments & Information

I found a link earlier about websites that remove anything from websites. They can’t guarantee search engine removal and claim that no charges are due for help. It sounded fishy and I went to one site. $3,000-$10,000 per year for 10-20 websites plus 1-5 unique websites.

I’m wondering how they do this unless they threaten legal action. If, say, Donny L wanted all negative comments about him off this site, would Eric conform or say gfy?

Years ago there was a case about this issue and I remember that a disclaimer of not being responsible for public comments was suggested to all. I added that to my forums and was still careful with the comments left on my sites.

If x username said x username is a pedophile or rapist or something like that here, and you were x username called out, would you pay ten grand to have it removed?

Prospective employers scan Facebook for information about potential hires. If I read here that xxx was a pedophile, would I believe it? Not unless I could see it on a legal website and it was documented. Creating fake reports and records is easy for some people. But on legit sites?

You could seriously hate someone and create an entire folder of proof that they were arrested and convicted of something heinous. It would be taken offline but hiding yourself is not hard. Post from a vpn and the damage is done.

I just talked about this with a friend and she was curious if these services were needed. Our conversation is partly above and the paranoia that could be caused is scary.
