+x+xTook about 2-3 weeks from what I remember to get an initial response, I then got an email back saying they'll removed them all. From then on all I do is reply to that email with any new links that pop up and they're gone in like 24-48 hours. Have you done the additional ones recently? I had a few links removed from my initial request then any subsequent ones that popped up were removed simply by replying to the original email. I noticed a new one the other day (same source, an archive page with a slight mention) so emailed but i've heard nothing back in nearly two weeks, despite chasing. Google usually remove mine after a couple of days. I check every so often. Only gotten round to the other search engines but I found google pretty easy to deal with

Don't forget that you can use Google to set up an alert to check for your name appearing online. That way, Google will email you to tell you if it happens, and you can get straight onto it.

Not super recently, thankfully I wasn't reported on too much so it limits the potential for the spread. Most recent I flagged up on the 11th of April (2025) and got a reply on the 18th of April that it have been removed, which is definitely longer than usual. Just for reference here I have finally had a reply removing it. The total time for a response was over 3 weeks which had me worried when normally it's in the realms of 3 hours!

You've just reminded me to have a wee check and 4 URLs have popped up 😬 Seems to be Google's weird way of showing them as they're URLs they've removed in the past but these have a mobile prefix despite being on desktop. Either way, pinged them off to Google so interesting to see how long it is for me!

That's my email just come through confirming they'll remove the URLs I gave them last night. So that was a turnaround of about 13 hours - Maybe the just don't like you, Ted! hehe

Either way, pinged them off to Google so interesting to see how long it is for me! It's Google's way of indexing. They choose a 'canonical' main version of the URL and index that. When you remove it they then work their way down the list to the next one. I'm on version 5 or 6 of the same article. It's a bit whack a mole but easy enough.

When you remove it they then work their way down the list to the next one. I'm on version 5 or 6 of the same article. It's a bit whack a mole but easy enough. Yeah, thought as much. You can tell by the URL just being slightly different it's obviously the same article. For example some more have now popped up since those removals with https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[MY NAME]?category=14, then when that is removed a new one pops up like https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[MY NAME]?category=9 and so on, mostly seem to be this one new website that started up in November 2024. Feel a bit aggrieved they added me to their database (that totally isn't a database, honest, police!) as my offence was spent as of February 2023 so I was a free man for about a year and a half prior to their website starting up, their website also seems to have a section on an offenders 'profile' where they add in their social media profiles. Surely there's some kind of harassment/legal issue there? ... But I digress. Got the alert setup to ping me weekly though so fingers crossed I got that setup right! EDIT:
Actually, the more I think about it the more that website annoys me - I've sent an enquiry off to Police Scotland to see what their stance is on it as they're not just linking to news articles as others appear to do as some kind of alleged 'legal loophole'.

As mentioned in my previous comment, there's still more popping up each time one link is removed but it's just the number in the URL that changes and I have no idea how high it goes as it seems random - In my latest removal email to Google I did state it might be worth while doing a catch-all and binning the URL including any suffix as the base itself is exactly the same:
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=22
So far I've had these removed in the order they appeared:
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=18
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=16
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=14
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=9
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=10
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=17
https://madebyredrose.co.uk/abuser/[REDACTED NAME]?category=22

It would also mean they don't have to keep removing links to the same article repeatedly.
