SOCIAL NETWORK PROFILE DATA REMOVAL
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request to remove data that is associated with a protected social entity;
scanning data that is maintained on one or more social networks, wherein scanning comprises identifying, by one or more processors, data that is associated with one or more social entities;
determining one or more characteristics of the identified data;
generating, for each of the one or more characteristics, a reference to the identified data that indicates the characteristic;
identifying a match between the one or more generated references and one or more stored references, wherein the one or more stored references each reference one or more characteristics associated with the protected social entity, and wherein the one or more stored references are stored in one or more social risk databases; and

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to remove data that is associated with a protected social entity. The data maintained on one or more social networks is scanned, where scanning includes identifying data that is associated with one or more social entities. One or more characteristics of the identified data are determined, and a reference to the identified data that indicates the characteristic, is generated for each of the one or more characteristics. A match between the one or more generated references and one or more stored references is identified, where the one or more stored references each reference one or more characteristics associated with the protected social entity, and where the one or more stored references are stored in one or more social risk databases. A request to the one or more social networks to remove the identified data associated with the one or more generated references is submitted.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by a data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a request to remove data that is associated with a protected social entity; scanning data that is maintained on one or more social networks, wherein scanning comprises identifying, by one or more processors, data that is associated with one or more social entities; determining one or more characteristics of the identified data; generating, for each of the one or more characteristics, a reference to the identified data that indicates the characteristic; identifying a match between the one or more generated references and one or more stored references, wherein the one or more stored references each reference one or more characteristics associated with the protected social entity, and wherein the one or more stored references are stored in one or more social risk databases; and submitting, by one or more processors, a request to the one or more social networks to remove the identified data associated with the one or more generated references. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
