We remove content from every major platform

The basics

Can you really remove content from the internet?
In most cases, yes. Content violating platform rules, copyright, privacy or defamation law can usually be permanently removed; what can't be removed at source can very often be de-indexed from search. Every case gets an honest assessment before you commit.
How much does content removal cost?
Every case is quoted per link, in writing, after a free confidential assessment. You see the exact price beside every URL before you pay anything. High-authority news and legal-route cases are scoped individually, and ongoing protection runs through our Protection Plans at member rates.
How long does removal take?
Platform takedowns often land within days. Publisher, legal and search de-indexing cases run weeks. You get a realistic timeline in the assessment and status updates throughout.
Do you guarantee removal? Our pricing is success-based instead.
No honest firm guarantees a platform's decision, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Instead, our pricing is success-based. Our compensation is tied to the content actually coming down, with the exact terms set out per item in the written proposal you receive after a free scan, before you pay anything. See our success-based pricing page for how it works.
Is everything confidential?
Completely. NDAs are standard, client relationships are never disclosed, and sensitive cases are handled by a single named specialist.
Do you work with everyone?
No. We decline work aimed at suppressing truthful reporting of serious wrongdoing. We protect people and businesses from defamation, leaks, piracy, impersonation and outdated or unlawful content.

Practical questions

What do you need from me to start?
Links to the content if you have them (our Exposure Scan finds what you don't), and enough context for us to understand your situation. Depending on the case, we may also ask you to verify your identity or ownership.
The content is on a site that ignores everyone, is it hopeless?
No. Sites that ignore individual requests are a normal part of our work, and we have handled many of them. Where content cannot be removed at the source, de-indexing from Google means it stops being found, and unfindable content stops doing damage.
Should I contact the poster or platform myself first?
Usually talk to us before you take any action. If you already reported it and nothing happened, that's normal and recoverable.
Can content come back after removal?
Source removals are permanent, but re-posts by adversaries and broker re-listings happen, which is why monitoring exists. Our Protection Plans catch resurfacing content and re-file automatically.
Do you handle cases outside the US?
Yes. We run cases across jurisdictions every day, for clients in the US, UK, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. See where we work.
