Adventures in taking down 'stuff' from the WWW
Caution: Adult content and strong language NOT suitable for higher vibrations and snowflakes
Yes, indeed. It feels like I'm in World War 10.666.
Never could I have envisioned, imagined, manifested, you name it, whatever catches your fancy, that 'taking down' a few images and 'cleaning up' the website would amount to such a ridiculous, well, shall we call it an . . . ADVENTURE.

People seek adventure, where some shy away from it. Believe
me, I truly do not need this type of adventure in my life.
As a tiny company, not even a blimp on a map, we surely drew
huge attention from numerous avenues . . . unfortunately not from the people
who we wished to reach, our intended 'target market'.
What a total surprise to find that what you see and agreed to on the World Wide Web can be taken, distorted, misrepresented, stolen, and downright pornographed at free will from anyone who has a bit of tech savvy.

Yes. This is one of those odd ball blogs. Those Unicorn
blogs where I rant about the unfairness uniqueness of life and how innocent naive, well-meaning
people are screwed - on the WWW by whomever can make a buck out of the
prostitution.
I have been battling with numerous 3rd parties to remove
illicit content from their servers, remove outdated and previously deleted
images, to take down private information. It is a struggle when you realize the
WWW is as Wild as the West has once been and Google and the other Big Guns only
have control over the Law Abiding Citizens. The rest is a free for all.
Plagiarism, abuse and misuse of content are at the order of
the day. You see, the rules only apply to the legal players, those who adhere
to the agreed upon conduct and just wish to get by honestly in life.
For all those neurotic people out there, the golden rule of
Surfing the Net is to regularly search for yourself, your content and your
information and see what comes up.
Unfortunately, not all content will be seen from a specific
country, so if you do have a trusted friend in another country, ask them to
have a regular search party as well.
Better safe than being pimped.
