An escort's retirement and confidentiality?

[BaronArtz]

An escort friend retired last year. He was not in the business very long, but he had his share of loyal clients. He was also positively reviewed on this site about 5-10 times.

 

When he decided to retire, he took down all of his escort ads. He also contacted the owner of this very website. Thankfully, 'daddy' deleted the main picture, the references to his escort ads, his email address and his phone number. The escort's name (not his real one) and the reviews themselves remained in place and still are publicly viewable, however.

 

My question/issue is the following: when I Google the escort's phone number, which he still uses for personal/other business purposes, a link to his reviews page on this website pops up. It baffles me how this is possible, since his phone number was deleted from the reviews ... Can anybody explain how this is possible?

BaronArtz, this is probably the BIG "underbelly" of the internet - nothing ever is completely erased.

Google will continue to index until their next full scan of a site. If the information was only recently removed from Daddy's it could take a little while for the Google entry to disappear. The really scarey one in terms of privacy is the Internet Archive "wayback" machine, which keeps complete copies of websites forever.

I think what you mean is that nothing about the retired escort is now viewable on the Daddy's Reviews site, but that the old reviews can still be found via a Google search. I know this is true of the review pages of a couple of fellows I have hired who have since moved on: their old review pages--without a photo and now listing them as "retired"--can still be found. My impression is that Daddy does what he can, but is limited to removing information from his website. Even when material is deleted from a website, it is not removed from the internet. Deleted copy, photos, videos--you name it--have an "afterlife" in internet archives and social media search engines.

 

Privacy isn't what it used to be; we all need to think carefully about the cyber "fingerprints" we leave or, alternatively, be ready to shamelessly embrace anything we've ever done.

What I meant to say is that the escort's name (not his real one) and the reviews are STILL on the current edition of Daddy's Reviews site. The profile is marked as 'retired' and the escort's phone number, email and link to the Rentboy site were removed throughout. A google search today on the escort's phone number leads to the current Daddy's Reviews site, however.

 

Thank you, Starbuck, bobchitown and adriano46 for your thoughtful responses! Appreciate it.

he should change his number, about the rest, maybe in a few years it will all disappear if the congress approves the "right to be forgotten" law project.

he should change his number [/b]

 

Absolutely! This guy was a bit naïve at the beginning of his escort career and used the same number for his personal use and for his escort business ... a mistake that has cost him career opportunities.

Naive until a family or friend decides to google his number.

It sounds like Google hasn't crawled your friend's reviews page since his phone number was removed. Anyone can request a recrawl by google and bing...

[BaronArtz]

That is EXACTLY what happened. His parents discovered it. Can you imagine?

This is a thread that every gentleman considering entering this business should be required to read. One of the biggest issues by clients is I wont hire with out a face pic. Good reason to never post it. The internet lives on forever. Mind you this information goes both ways as way back when an unscrupulous escort used information against me in my former handle life. You can take precautions but exposure exists. It is much easier today to have a second phone number, I believe can be used with one phone via internet, separate emails of course. Every day I am amazed at what the forum threads contain in searches of pics and information of gentlemen. Just think what some escorts or others might be able to dig up on you.

Thank you for your advice. I think, though, that only the webmaster can requested a 'crawl'. Is it possible for an escort to ask for a 'crawl' when he has a review page on Daddys Reviews? I am not tech savvy ...

To be cautious these days, always have a separate phone and email accounts. I don't know how secure Google phone is. If you have a droid, it's linked to your Gmail account and you could inadvertently touch the wrong button. It happens. You can get a phone and pay with cash and no escort can trace it.

How to ask Google, Bing, and Yandex to update their indexes

 

Anyone can submit requests to have a page re-crawled.

 

Google: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals?pli=1

Bing: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/b...-tool-cb6c294d

Yandex: https://webmaster.yandex.com/delurl.xml

 

Sometimes a single page can have multiple URLs. When that happens, you will need to track down each version of the URL and enter them separately.
