The internet has often been called an information superhighway. Through its networks, all sorts of data, ideas, and media are shared, replicated, and transferred in real time to billions of users around the world. By utilizing these capabilities, the internet has allowed us to communicate, transact, and interact with anyone around the world at any given time.

Aside from the speed and ease of internet activity, it is also able to amplify information by exposing it to a worldwide audience. When information becomes present on the internet, it more often than not becomes a part of public domain. Compounding this, the internet can disseminate knowledge at a breakneck pace never before seen in human history.  When information becomes ‘viral’ on the internet, its spread becomes almost impossible to contain. Depending on the content, it can become even more like a virus, in that it becomes very virulent, dealing severe and long-lasting damage to those involved.

With widespread anonymity and little regulation, the roads of the information superhighway can often serve less as its utopian vision of free information and intercourse and more of a savage, lawless wasteland akin to ‘Mad Max.’ For anyone who engages in the internet, external threats can come in the form of hackers, scammers, and malicious groups or individuals that create and spread misinformation, either to achieve a specific goal or simply for the joy of spreading chaos. Threats can also come from within, with mistakes made even in the distant past being brought back to life, taken out of context, and amplified beyond a reasonable extent. Those in the spotlight, like companies, celebrities, and even smaller individuals, are all exposed to such dangers on a regular basis.

This explains the growing popularity of online reputation management (ORM) firms, which serve to clean, cultivate, and maintain their clients’ online reputations. In contrast to more traditional forms of PR, ORM has the added challenge of having to cope with the pace and the power of the internet. ORM firms have to react to threats before they spread and multiply on the World Wide Web, where they can quickly reach uncontrollable levels.

Established by former professional boxing trainer Frankie Lee, Content Removal distinguishes itself from the pack of similar firms by specializing in more advanced stages of ORM. The company specializes in its namesake, being able to remove potentially-damaging content from the largest social media websites, search engines, and review hosting sites. Google, Facebook, Bing, Instagram, and Twitter are just a few of the sites the company is able to purge of unwanted content. Beyond its specialty, Content Removal also provides content monitoring, brand protection, and reputation management services to serve as proactive measures of maintaining their clients’ reputations. Due to its quality of service and affordable rates, Content Removal has been the go-to ORM firm for big name brands like SWEAT and Saski, as well as celebrities like Australian of the Year nominee Brinkley Davies.

Content Removal’s success has always been rooted in its core values and motivation of giving people the right to control their own online reputations. Founder Frankie Lee cites one moment early in the company’s history, helping Dutch police take down a server hosting illicit pornography of thousands of people without their consent, as one of the company’s shining moments.  Frankie hopes to further expand Content Removal so that he may help more people and increase his positive impact on the world.

Toward this goal, Frankie also developed Removed.ai, which aims to help aggrieved content creators, from large companies to individuals, take down instances of copyright misuse and piracy. Frankie also hosts The Frankie Lee Podcast, his personal avenue for helping others on their road to personal, professional, and entrepreneurial development. Frankie hopes that his podcast will give others the same winning mindset that drove him to the heights of success.
