    When we consider takedown requests: If prosecutors drop previously filed charges If prosecutors never file charges following an arrest If someone is under threat of physical harm because of the existence of the story If the case has been expunged or sealed If the case has led to executive clemency There may also be situations in which fairness requires an existing story to be updated or follow-up coverage, rather than a story removal.

    Story Removal / Takedown Requests Many chapters of a person’s life do not remain relevant or important for the public to know and undue harm can come to a person’s life or reputation if digital records persist long after an incident loses public relevance.
