Online reputation and crisis management for politicians
Politicians are open to criticism and criticism is not removed; but false statements of fact, fabricated media, privacy breaches and fake accounts have legal and technical remedies.
The distinction matters
Criticism of public conduct is protected speech. Removal requests should target only false statements of fact, defamation, privacy and data breaches and fabricated content; anything else backfires.
Common problems
- False stories and fast-spreading claims

Frequently asked questions
Can a critical opinion column be removed?
Usually not; opinion is protected. If it contains false facts, a correction or right of reply can be requested.
