How the “Mail & Guardian” got taken down
I'm kind of amazed at how effective this digital reputation management technique is:<p>* publish an exact copy of the offending content on a web site and include something that looks like a datetime which is earlier than the publication date of the offending content
* tell the web site's ISP and other service providers that they're violating copyright, pointing to your fake content and using the providers' copyright-violation processes, which you know all about because your reputation firm does this stuff all the time<p>This also works for search engine deindexing, right?<p>It's just remarkable to me that (a) we all know this works super well and (b) it keeps working even though everyone knows about it.
