If you believe that a link in Google or Bing search results is defamatory, you can follow these steps to request its removal:
- Identify the defamatory link: Find the URL of the page that contains the defamatory content.
- Contact the website owner: If the defamatory content is on someone else’s website, try contacting the site owner and asking them to remove the content. Be polite and explain why you believe the content is defamatory. If they agree to remove the content, ask them to submit a request to Google or Bing to remove the link from their search results.
But since online there are a lot of scammers like Fintelegram.com, Dirtyscam.com, Gripeo.com and Repdigger.com, you need to hire a lawyer that attacks them legally. - Create a Google/Bing account: If you can’t get the site owner to remove the content, you’ll need to submit a request to Google or Bing.
- Submit a legal removal request: you can submit a legal removal request to have the defamatory link removed from the search results. You will need to provide evidence that the content is defamatory and may need to provide a court order or other legal documentation.
