if there was a specific person wanted for a crime, i would be more open to the topic.

but it sounds like a lot of potential for unfriendly actions towards innocent people.

but have run into the same problem. Awaiting the answer.

How does one scrub their name from the internet? We're dealing with the theft of an estate and all of the characters involved, including hastening a death and forging a will.

I follow a lot of true crime and somehow there are things wiped away, it could be someone totally innocent the public decided was guilty, or an act that was filmed, even a victim that doesn't want the public in their business.
It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Program is called Optery. It removes you from all the companies that sell your info. They make all the request to remove your info from People Finders, classmates and all the 300+ sites that deal it. I love it. Within 2 months I was totally gone. Getting it back once removed and you opt out would be illegal. If you request to be removed they have to comply.
