How to Delete Comments on the Payters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board

Are you familiar with the app called Paters? Paters is primarily used as a matching app for women who are interested in sugar daddy relationships and men.

If there are any nuisance behaviors such as last-minute cancellations or scams on Paters, comments may be posted on the “Paters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board”.

Furthermore, even if you are not actually causing any nuisance, misunderstandings or miscommunications can lead to trouble, and there is a risk of malicious posts being made.

In this article, we will explain how to delete comments that have been maliciously posted on the Paters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board.

What is the Paters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board?

This bulletin board is a platform on Paters where users expose ‘landmines’, referring to individuals involved in sugar dating who engage in troublesome behaviors such as last-minute cancellations. It is common for posts to include the registered name on Paters, profile information, and screenshots of message exchanges.

While it is said that the Paters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board is operated in Southeast Asia, no specific information about the operator is provided.

Common reasons for posts include ‘last-minute cancellations’ and ‘photo fraud’ for sugar babies, and ‘failure to pay the promised money’ and ‘forceful attempts at contact’ for sugar daddies.

However, it should be noted that there are cases where individuals are targeted out of spite for reasons such as ‘not meeting demands’, and their personal information or photos are posted without their consent.

If your face photo is exposed along with malicious posts, it could potentially have a negative impact on your daily life.

Requesting Deletion through the Deletion Request Form

If you find an undesirable post on the Payters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board, your first step should be to request its removal through the deletion request form.

You can fill out the necessary information on this form and attach an identification document to request deletion.

However, on the site description page of the Payters PJ Landmine Bulletin Board, it states:

“If there is a problem with the content of a post and you wish to have it deleted, please notify us through the deletion request form. However, please note that this system is not a commercial service but a free bulletin board for information sharing, and we may not be able to respond unless the request has objective rationality. Also, please be aware that we may not always be able to respond promptly.”

Therefore, even if you request deletion, it does not seem that you can always expect the post to be deleted.

Furthermore, as of April 2021, the deletion request form states:

“*Due to the extremely strict city lockdowns with penalty provisions in place throughout Southeast Asia, we are unable to check this form. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.”

Therefore, the possibility of deletion may be even lower.

Procedure for Removing Google Search Results

If you have requested a post to be removed from the Paters PJ Mine Bulletin Board and it has not been deleted, there is a method to mitigate the damage by reducing access to that page.

Specifically, by removing the page from Google’s search results, you can eliminate people who access the relevant page by searching for it.

Applying to Google for Removal of Search Results

You can apply for removal by clicking on the “Create Request” button after going to “Legal Help” → “Report Content for Legal Reasons” on Google.

However, the decision to remove is made by Google, so there is a possibility that it may not be removed.

Please note that there is a cautionary note as follows, and the name of the person requesting removal, etc., will be made public.

All legal notices received by Google are sent to the Lumen Project (lumendatabase.org[ja] (English)) and may be published or annotated. Please note that while the sender’s contact information (phone number, email address, address, etc.) will be removed by Lumen, names, company names, organization names, etc. will be made public. Please note this in advance (Reference image of published notice[ja]). Also, the original notice may be sent to the alleged infringer or the rights holder if there is a reason to doubt the validity of the claim you have sent us. We may also publish similar information about the notice you sent us in Google’s Transparency Report. For more information about this report, please see here[ja].

Applying for Provisional Disposition for Removal of Search Results

If Google does not remove the search results even after you apply for removal, you can apply to the court for a provisional disposition for removal of the search results.

A provisional disposition is a temporary measure determined by the court, and it is personalityized by faster results than regular litigation.

Since Google is operated by Google LLC, a U.S. corporation, the attorney’s fees are likely to be about 200,000 yen higher than when filing a claim against a Japanese corporation. This is because it is necessary to obtain English translations of evidence and registration in the United States.

The Supreme Court has ruled that if the need to remove search results clearly outweighs the need to publish them, removal will be allowed (Supreme Court decision of January 31, Heisei 29 (2017)).

However, proving this and getting it recognized by the court is not an easy procedure, so it is safe to request a lawyer who is strong in such cases.
