Permanently Remove Incriminating Personal Information From The Web

Everton | Oct 30, 2006 | View Comments


Following on from my post earlier about being careful about what you say on the web, there now appears to be an answer. ReputationDefender claim to be able to remove any incriminating information about you that has made its way onto the Internet:

We scour the Internet to dig up every possible piece of information about you and present it in an interactive monthly report. You can view this report by email or by logging into our site.

ReputationDefender claim to be able to track:

  • Social networks (MySpace, Facebook, LiveJournal, Bebo, and more);
  • Professional review websites;
  • Blogs;
  • Online news sources;
  • Photograph, video, and audio sharing sites (Flickr, YouTube, etc.); and,
  • Millions of additional sites on the “open Internet.”

They then claim to be able to ‘DESTROY’ any information in the report that you don’t like:

Our trained and expert online reputation advocates use an array of proprietary techniques developed in-house to correct and/or completely remove the selected unwanted content from the web. This is an arduous and labor-intensive task, but we take the job seriously so you can sleep better at night. We will always and only be in YOUR corner.

I’d love to know how this is possible. It’s almost like they’ve discovered how to do anti-SEO. A 6 month membership costs $15.95 and I’m honestly tempted to give it a go. Firstly, because I’m curious and secondly because there is one piece of information about me on the internet which isn’t incriminating, but everytime I Google myself it makes me cringe when I see it.

If the service works I think we will see other similar services spring up, particularly as people start to wise up to how much information about them (and it’s only going to get worse) is getting onto the internet.

  • As Martin said, you have to be careful to use this service.
  • This smells of something illegal. To erase information requires hacking into networks. That's a federal crime!

    Of course, they might opt to do something else, like bury the nasty bit of data under 20,000,000 search results. But I doubt this route. It's too time consuming.

    By the way, what makes you cringe? You got me curious!
  • I would be very cautious about this service. How would they be able to change details on websites that they do not own ? I can only think of sueing the webmaster, everything else would fail (unless it would involve illegal activity like hacking)
