Most removal services quote a price before they know whether removal is even possible. Clearline starts with a written per-URL assessment: which URLs have a viable legal ground — DMCA, privacy law, NCII, terms violation — and which don't. If nothing is viable, we say so, no charge. Requests go to the host, the platform and the search engine in parallel, and every case includes 90 days of re-upload monitoring. No false copyright claims, no unauthorised account access.
Hey everyone 👋
I built Clearline after watching people pay for "guaranteed removal in 24 hours" and get a template refusal instead. The problem is almost never the wording of the request — it's that the request cites a ground the platform has no review queue for. Copyright and non-consensual imagery have staffed pipelines. "This post is unfair" doesn't.
So the first step here is an assessment, not a quote: you send the URLs, you get back a per-URL breakdown of what has a removal path, what only has a suppression path, and what has neither. If it's all in the last bucket, we tell you that and there's no charge.
The part I'd most like feedback on: how much detail people actually want in that first assessment. Right now it's fairly technical — legal ground per URL, expected timeline, escalation path. Too much? Not enough?
Happy to answer anything about how takedowns actually work — including the parts that don't.
