Request Removal of Bullying or Personally Harmful Content from a Website (MD)

You may have a legal right to request a removal of content that is consistent with cyberbullying and/or is personally harmful, especially where it is untrue. Even if you do not have a legal right to the removal of such content, many online companies provide you with an opportunity to make this type of request. This letter may be used to request removal of this type of harmful content appearing on a website regarding you or another person.

If you are representing another individual, you will likely be required to provide proof that you have authority to act on that person's behalf. This may require you to submit a copy of the authorizing court order or Power of Attorney document along with your request.

Keep in mind that each company may have a unique process for making these types of requests so be sure to check the website.

This form is intended to be used by individuals seeking to remove content of a personal nature. It is not intended to dispute information regarding businesses such as Yelp or Google reviews or disparaging remarks posted online by individuals regarding a business.
