Each year, hundreds of thousands of people fall victim to having their intimate photos and videos leaked. According to a study done by the Australian Institute of Criminology, one in three people are affected by this form of abuse, and the unfortunate reality is that it can be challenging for victims to get that content down, whether it’s because the websites are no help or because the police don’t bother getting involved. This shocking realization inspired entrepreneur Frankie Lee to take matters into his own hands and find a solution to help those in need.
After two of his female friends from the United Kingdom had their private images released without their consent, they struggled to have the pictures removed, even reaching out to the authorities for help. However, after being told there essentially wasn’t anything that could be done, Frankie decided to take things into his own hands. After two weeks of working hard, he eventually got all the photos taken down.
Helping his friends like this and seeing the weight lifted off of their shoulders was enough to inspire Frankie to make a full-time career out of this, and so he launched ContentRemoval.com. Through his brand, Frankie fights for people who have their private pictures and videos released, people under defamation attacks, or anyone who’s struggling with negative online content being posted about them.
ContentRemoval.com has become one of the top leaders in cybersecurity and reputation management, thanks to their quick and thorough work. Frankie has a genuine passion for helping clients and giving them a solution to their awful situations, especially since there aren’t many alternatives. “I hope to give people a fighting chance of being able to defend themselves from content that has no right to be in the public domain,” he says about his company.
To go along with his brand, Frankie is currently working on Removed.ai, a software as a service (SAAS) system that will automate the process of influencers, celebrities, and content owners looking to file takedowns through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This program aims to make removing stolen content quick and seamless, something it by no means is now.
Helping others and coming up with new solutions are some of Frankie’s passions. There’s no greater feeling than being able to say he made someone’s day easier, and it’s been a privilege to be able to do so through his brand. On top of his work with ContentRemoval.com, Frankie hosts a leading personal development and entrepreneurial podcast named The Frankie Lee Podcast. The show’s only purpose is to help people break their patterns and look at things through different perspectives to find clarity and success.
For the future, Frankie plans to continue scaling his businesses and eventually begin a new one. He’s working on a new content removal agency that will look after some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.
