ConsumerOnlineProtection.net is a very damaging website. If you have conducted even a little research about this website (and the people who manage it) you may know that they are impossible to deal with. They do not care that a high percentage of the reports may be false and many are thought to be planted by a competitor or disgruntled former employee. They provide no way to have any Consumer Online Protection Report deleted from the ConsumerOnlineProtection.net website. They openly challenge people to sue them because they know that they are protected by the current laws. Until the laws change. Consumer Online Protection is a very popular online complaint portal that allows users to submit anonymous online complaints about business and individuals. Consumer Online Protection Reports rank very high on Google for whatever name the complaint is against. This causes an online reputation nightmare for anyone that gets a Consumer Online Protection report filed against them. The website ConsumerOnlineProtection (dotNet) is very difficult to work with in terms of getting a complaint taken off of their website, it is basically impossible to make or force them to take the complaint down. The website even states that it is their policy never to remove a Consumer Online Protection complaint even if the original author requests it to be removed. To make matters worse, Consumer Online Protection allows people to say pretty much whatever they want about a business or person on their site. Anyone can file a “report” and say virtually anything about you regardless of the merit or validity of the claim (many companies have things posted like “The CEO is a pedophile”). Consumer Online Protection has purportedly been sued on many occasions but they are protected under the Communications Decency Act, which basically says that you can be aware of bad content online, do nothing about it, and still not be libel for it. Since Consumer Online Protection is user generated content and Consumer Online Protection is not the one actually writing the content, they can’t be held libel. Consumer Online Protection is a privately-owned and operated website founded by Scott Breitenstein. Consumer Online Protection has been online since March 2010 and is operated by LS COMPUTERS TECHNOLOGIES, LLC which is based in Dayton.[1] Scott Breitenstein is the site’s Editor-in-Chief. This man Scott Breitenstein creates FALSE BLOGS targeting innocent companies.
