We create a personalized Twitter account removal strategy for every client, depending on their requirements and specific issues. We implement effective strategies to remove defamatory tweets that are causing reputational damage to our clients. Here’s the process we follow:
In this first step, we thoroughly examine every client’s unique requirements and why they want to delete their own or someone else’s Twitter account or any content associated with it. We perform a meticulous review of their situation and conduct a comprehensive audit to identify the accounts and Twitter posts we’ll target for removal. We also assess the nature of the content, whether it is defamatory, posted by an impersonator account, contains abuse or harrassment, or violates any intellectual property laws of the platform. Based on X’s Terms of Service and applicable legal standards, our team determines the most suitable grounds for a successful takedown of the accounts or content.
After we finish our audit, we develop a bespoke X account removal strategy and outline the specific legal and procedural avenues that we will pursue for the process. In this process, we decide whether we should send a direct report through the platform’s official channels, a formal legal cease-and-desist letter, or a DMCA takedown notice. We choose the most suitable route for a seamless removal. Our ORM professionals handle all communication with X’s legal and support team by navigating the complex policies of the platform and ensuring a successful outcome.
Execute Removal, Takedown & De-Indexing
This is the major step where we proceed with the X account removal and de-indexing from search engines after our strategy is approved. As we move into the execution phase, we formally submit all the necessary documentation and legal notices to Twitter. We not only deactivate the targeted account but also ensure all the associated data is taken down as well from Twitter. Furthermore, we also de-index the removed content from search engine results. Once the account and content are removed from Twitter, we ensure that they don’t appear online when someone searches for their name or their brand name. For this, we remove residual links from search results to ensure the unwanted content is completely erased from the public domains.
Monitor & Prevent Reappearance
After the initial takedown, we regularly monitor Twitter to track whether there are any other impersonator accounts. We also monitor if there is any reappearance of the deleted X account or similar content. We proactively search for potential duplicate accounts posting original content and claiming it as their own. If we find any such account, we immediately execute a swift takedown of that profile or content to maintain the integrity of our clients’ digital reputation. Throughout the process, we aim to provide our clients with long-term peace of mind.
