Completely removing unwanted information online is nearly impossible; only about 30% of online reputation lawsuits are successful, and these cases can drag on for years. Any removal attempt — whether through direct contact with the website, the search engine, or the courts—involves third parties, which can worsen the situation.
Even successful removals don't guarantee future protection from new rumors or unreliable publications resurfacing and dominating search results, thus damaging your reputation.
However, the goal shouldn't be deleting information. While billions of web pages exist, only those on the first page of search results truly matter. According to Google, most ot the users don't look beyond the first page. The same is true for banking, immigration, and corporate compliance – first-page results determine account openings and residency permits.
Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that only relevant, positive information dominates the first page of search results.
