What’s the Lumen Database?
Lumen is an independent research project studying takedown notices along with other legal removal requests and demands concerning online content. We collect and analyze requests to remove material from the web. Our goals are to facilitate research about the different kinds of complaints and requests for removal–both legitimate and questionable–that are being sent to Internet publishers, search engines, and service providers, and to provide as much transparency as possible about the “ecology” of such notices, in terms of who is sending them and why, and to what effect.
Our database contains millions of notices, many of them with a valid legal basis, some of them without, and some on the murky border. The presence of a notice in our database does not indicate a judgment among these possibilities, or that Lumen is authenticating the provenance of that notice or evaluating the validity of the claims it raises. Lumen in fact has no way of doing so.

Then every time someone sends to Google or Bing a complaint for defamation, copyright or any general complaint, they will send a copy to Lumen.

How to remove a Fintelegram article
[…] Understandably, some businesses have felt compelled to engage the services of individuals like Werner to preemptively mitigate such damaging […]
[…] Fintelegram has come under scrutiny for its dubious practices, which include posting negative reviews and fake investigations only to extort money for their removal later. This unethical behaviour not only tarnishes the reputation of the subjects in question but also raises serious concerns about journalistic ethics and credibility. […]
