Revenge porn king wants clean web record

A revenge porn king wants a squeaky clean Google record. Craig Brittain raked in thousands of dollars by posting naked photos of women online. Now, he wants his own revenge: on the websites that wrote about him.

Brittain, the operator of the now defunct site www.isanybodydown.com, submitted a request to Google to remove links containing “unauthorised use of photos of me and other related information” from its search engine. He lists 23 links, including sites like Forbes and the Huffington Post.

He filed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act request, claiming the sites pulled unauthorised statements, identifying information and photos from his Facebook page and his old site.

The Colorado man recently settled with federal regulators who said he broke the law by posting nude pictures of women without their consent or knowledge.

The FTC says Craig Brittain ran the website which worked like this: A man would obtain the images while dating the woman. But upon breaking up, the woman’s ex would supply the photos to Brittain, who would post them along with the woman’s name, age, phone number and link to her Facebook profile. The FTC says Brittain advertised a legal service that claimed to be able to take down the photos for a fee of up to $500.
