Hello Peter not adhering to its own content policies.

To my horror , yesterday afternoon I learnt that someone who goes by the name NXT E had posted defamatory, libellous damaging comments about me and my 3 businesses. The posts had been up since March 8 2017. The posts breached a number of your content rules. This same person also set up a **** facebook profile of me and used this profile to respond to the posts further damaging my name and reputation. It is concerning that Hello Peter never picked this up for almost 2 months. I immediately reported each post. I received no response from Hello Peter but a did check later on and all the posts had been removed. However when learning on Google " Wayne Levine South Africa" the post still comes up on the first page with a snippet of the post. thus I'm still suffering damages.

Hellopeter.com is much like other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter and does not screen reviews prior to publishing. The reason for this is that it would not be independent and transparent which is part of the environment we try to create. Reviews that are reported to us are investigated in full. Hellopeter.com has no control over search engines like Google. We will however send a request to Google on your behalf asking them to update. Regards, HP

Reviewer Update
I don't accept or agree with this response at all. Hello Peter existed way before FaceBook or Twitter. it was established to be a credible platform that ensured reviewers were validated and reviews checked against there content policy before posting same. Checking content in a review and ensuring it meets your content policies before posting does not interfere with transparency or influencing reviews. it simply keeps the playing field clean. I bet the reviewer in my case who went by the name NXT E did not register with there real details. did he ? Facebook has proactive bots that scan content for appropriateness proactively - why doesn't Hello Peter ?
