KLAYField notes
Field notes.
Short, practical guides from the casework. What to do first, what to gather, and who to trust. Written to be useful before you ever write to me.

Before you pay anyone.

What can and cannot be removed from search.
The honest map: what disappears, what gets pushed down, and what nobody can touch.

Claiming a handle: what actually works.
Inactive is not enough. The grounds platforms accept, and the ones they ignore.

Where to report online blackmail: Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar.
The official channels, the numbers, what each one does, and what to have ready. Written so you can decide, not so you have to.

Instagram or Facebook hacked: what Meta's recovery actually needs.
The email and the phone number were changed, and the form goes in circles. What Meta checks, where to start, and what to gather before you try again.

Snapchat locked or TikTok suspended: the appeal that gets read.
Two platforms, two different doors. What a lock or a suspension means, what each appeal must contain, and what makes them stop reading.

Removing your photos and details from Google yourself.
What Google takes out of its results on request, what it will not, and the exact steps, before you pay anyone for it.
-
