I'm pretty sure your mom, your coworkers, and your dog knows who you are. These are more likely candidates to create a meme about you.

Sadly, I don't think there's much more you can do besides what you already tried.

Take this as an example https://www.google.com/#q=santorum

Do you see that 3rd result or so? That says "The frothy mix of ... " I won't repeat the whole thing on here.

So if a presidential candidate can't take something like that down, because it was up like the whole primary, and still up to this day, then I don't think the average joe will have much luck either.

I don't post all of my business on the interwebs nor do I use social sites. I could honestly care less what people write about me on the internet. it's funny when you confront em to come say it to your face and they run like a ****ing *****

That's an opinion and protected by free speech, nothing you can do about that no matter who you are. It's only when someone makes a specific factual statement about you that is false you can take action.

Borderline and can be interpreted as an opinion: "Joe the contractor is a thief that does shoddy work."


Can be sued over: "Joe the contractor is thief that stole $2k in jewelry from my house."

LOL! Yeah, I'm the same one. I guess I'm good at getting people upset and pushing them into thinking or seeing other points of view.

That is why I hate it that so many sites do not respect people's privacy.....it can have consequences.

Some websites want to stealthfully acquire and publish your private information for the world and every nut to see. For instance, one of the websites I USED to go on uses most of your email address as your default screen name.......so fu88ing stupid these people are.
