A Fortune 500 CEO faced a rapidly spreading Reddit thread containing false allegations about corporate misconduct. Within 48 hours, the thread had reached the front page of a major subreddit and began ranking on page one of Google for the executive's name.
Mapping the spread of harmful content
Erasiq conducted an immediate audit mapping the original post, cross-posts, comment threads, and archived copies across third-party mirror sites.
Our team filed precise Reddit policy violation reports citing harassment and defamation, escalating to admin review when initial moderator action stalled. Simultaneously, legal correspondence was prepared to accelerate enforcement.
Platform enforcement and escalation
Within five business days, the primary thread was removed. We then submitted search de-indexing requests for cached URLs and monitored for reposts over a 90-day period.
The result: complete removal from Reddit and suppression from search results, with no re-publication detected during the monitoring window.
