Eugene Volokh of Reason reports that someone is trying to remove articles about a forged U.K. court order. The effort appears aimed at vanishing a 2018 Reason piece that discussed the forged order and quoted a Times (London) article by Billy Kenber. The original reporting centered on businessman Mason Soiza.
The new attempt to scrub this history from the web is notable because it targets reporting on an already-documented forgery, not new allegations. Volokh's account suggests the goal is to suppress the record of the forged order itself, raising questions about how legal threats or takedown requests can be used to pressure publishers.
Because this is a single source, there is no independent confirmation of who is behind the removal effort or what legal basis they claim. But the pattern described—seeking to erase articles about a forged court order—highlights the fragility of online archives and the importance of preserving reporting on legal misconduct.
