Millions of people are attacked, exposed and violated on the Internet. A lawsuit filed against Steven Wyer's business destroyed his company and his credibility. His reputation was ruined because of the Internet. He learned that "innocent until proven guilty" is a myth, especially in the digital world. The online postings hurt his family, his income and his future. Since this battle, he has talked to hundreds of people with similar stories. Their narratives would sound like fiction were it not for the fact that he has helped many of them reclaim their lives through his company, Reputation Advocate.


The American government has passed laws that leave its citizens open to be maligned with impunity by accusers – both real and fictitious.
