Earlier this year, Psychology Today carried an interview with a man who makes people disappear.
He can’t use an eraser, because once it’s out there, it’s out there. So he uses misdirection.
A nugget:
In fact, you help people bury their online identities. How do you do it?
Usually I’m hired by people who want to hide something embarrassing online or by wealthy people who fear abductions—so a predator trying to plan a kidnapping won’t find any real information about their family on the Net. I take my client’s name and create fake digital identities for it with Facebook and Twitter accounts, blogs, business websites. The idea is to make the false identities dimensional and give them a strong Internet presence. Then I take the content to be hidden and manipulate it. If something negative happened to Joe Johnson in L.A., I make it Chicago, then spread it online. I make it appear that the negative info is about Joe Johnson in Chicago—not the one in L.A.
A fascinating read.
