AWDTSG Removal London — Takedowns of Are We Dating The Same Guy Posts
The London AWDTSG group is the largest in the United Kingdom, and it does not stop at the M25.
That is the first thing worth understanding about a London post. Because London is where people work rather than only where they live, the group’s membership extends across the commuter belt — Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Berkshire. Someone who lives in Guildford or St Albans and works in the City is inside the London group’s reach whether or not they think of themselves as a Londoner.
The second is scale. A post in the London group can be seen by tens of thousands of people within a day, many of whom work in the same industry as you, and some of whom will be people you meet professionally in the years that follow.
MGMT Reputation handles AWDTSG post removal for clients across London. We work confidentially, through the platform’s own reporting and escalation channels, and we never contact the poster or the group administrators outside those channels.

AWDTSG REMOVAL LONDON: SCANS AND TAKEDOWNS, START TO FINISH
Most people who contact us have seen one post. They rarely know whether it is the only one.
London content spreads in a specific pattern. Because the London group is the largest, posts originating there are disproportionately likely to be screenshotted into other UK groups — Manchester, Birmingham, Reading and Oxford, Cambridgeshire. A London post is more likely than any other UK post to exist in more than one place.
Our process starts with a full scan of the entire UK group network before any takedown is submitted, not just the London group. We identify every instance, document each one, and submit them as a coordinated set. That sequencing matters: reporting posts individually over days or weeks produces inconsistent outcomes, while a single documented submission covering every instance is treated as one coherent complaint.
Where a post has spread beyond the AWDTSG network — onto screenshot accounts, forums or other platforms — we handle that through our social media takedown service using the same evidence package.
THE LONDON GROUP: WHAT IT COVERS
There is one official AWDTSG group for London, and it covers the whole capital rather than splitting by area. In practice its reach extends well beyond the boundary:
- Central and the City — the largest concentration of professional membership
- North London — Camden, Islington, Hackney, Haringey, Barnet, Enfield
- East London — Tower Hamlets, Newham, Stratford, Canary Wharf, Walthamstow
- South London — Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Clapham, Croydon, Greenwich
- West London — Kensington, Chelsea, Hammersmith, Ealing, Richmond
- The commuter belt — Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent and Berkshire, none of which has a dedicated group
That last point catches people out regularly. Someone living in Reading has the Reading, Oxford and Luton group nearby, but someone in Sevenoaks, Watford or Epsom has no local group at all — so a post about them is most likely sitting in the London group. Alongside the official group there are imposter groups using the AWDTSG name without operating under its policies, which changes how a takedown is framed. Establishing which type of group a post sits in is part of our initial scan.
HOW TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE POSTED IN THE LONDON GROUP
The group is private and admitted to women only. If you are the person being discussed, you cannot see it, cannot search it, and have no way of confirming a suspicion on your own.
Creating a false profile breaches the platform’s terms, risks your account, and would undermine a later takedown submission. Asking a female friend to check is the common alternative and it is unreliable — one search in one group misses reposts, and a London post that has been screenshotted elsewhere will not show up that way.
Our AWDTSG checker and search service scans the London group and the wider UK network, and reports what exists and how far it has spread. If nothing is there, that is the answer, and nothing further happens.
HOW AWDTSG REMOVAL WORKS FOR LONDON CLIENTS
Confidential intake
A conversation, not a form. Nothing goes beyond our team, and we do not contact the poster, the group administrators, or anyone in your professional or personal life.
Evidence package
A documented record of every instance: post, group, date, visible reach and the specific content at issue. Where the post uses photographs you took, copyright provides a separate route, covered under image copyright protection.
Takedown submission
Submitted through platform reporting channels, framed against the specific policy provisions breached.
Platform escalation
Where a first submission is refused or ignored, we escalate with further documentation. This is where most self-managed attempts stall.
Mirror sweep
A re-scan of the UK group network after removal, as part of the removal work.
Handover
The full documented record of what was found, submitted and removed. Continued watching beyond that point is a separate paid service.
Most cases see an initial platform response within 72 hours of submission.
THE LAW, AND WHY TIMING MATTERS IN LONDON
None of this is legal advice and we are not a law firm. It is the framework a takedown gets framed against.
London sits under England and Wales law. The full treatment is on our UK AWDTSG page, but one point deserves stating here because it affects what you do this week rather than this year.
A defamation claim in England and Wales must generally be brought within one year of first publication, under s. 4A of the Limitation Act 1980. The single publication rule in s. 8 of the Defamation Act 2013 means that reposting or continued visibility does not restart that clock. There is a judicial discretion to allow claims outside the year under s. 32A, but it is a discretion rather than an entitlement.
Alongside that, s. 1 of the Defamation Act 2013 requires serious harm to reputation — a threshold that a London post is more likely to clear than most, precisely because of the group’s size and its concentration of professional membership.
Separately, Article 17 of the UK GDPR provides a right to request erasure of personal data, directed at the platform as controller. That route does not carry the one-year limitation and does not require the content to be false.
AWDTSG REMOVAL LONDON: INDUSTRIES MOST AFFECTED
London’s exposure profile is unlike anywhere else in the UK, because so many of its industries are small, networked and reputation-dependent despite the size of the city.
Financial and professional services in the City and Canary Wharf sit at the top. Compliance functions increasingly run open-source checks on staff, FCA-regulated roles carry fitness and propriety considerations, and the industry is small enough that people move between a limited number of firms across a career.
Law and medicine follow the same pattern under the SRA, the BSB and the GMC, where a complaint begins a process regardless of its merit. Tech and startups in Shoreditch and King's Cross form a dense, heavily interconnected community where a post circulates through professional and social circles simultaneously. Media, advertising and the creative industries hire on short contracts and reputation, which magnifies the effect of anything that circulates.
Hospitality, property and recruitment complete the picture — client-facing fields where an individual's name is what generates the work.
QUEBEC LAW AND AWDTSG CONTENT
Greater Montreal
Québec City and the Capitale-Nationale
Eastern Townships
Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec
Trois-Rivières, Shawinigan and Drummondville.
Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean
Saguenay, Chicoutimi, Jonquière and Alma. Smaller communities where a post reaches a high proportion of the people someone actually knows.
Outaouais
Gatineau and the surrounding region. No Quebec group covers Gatineau — posts about Outaouais residents commonly appear in the Ottawa group, which means scanning both is necessary.
Province-Wide Remote Service
ONGOING AWDTSG MONITORING FOR LONDON CLIENTS
Removal addresses what exists today. Reposting is most likely in the period immediately after a takedown, and a London post that has already been screenshotted into other groups carries a higher reappearance risk than most.
Continued watching is available as AWDTSG monitoring, a separate paid service priced independently of removal work.
PRICING FOR LONDON CLIENTS
Pricing is confirmed at consultation. A single post in the London group is a different job from content that has crossed into three other UK groups, so we quote on what your situation actually involves.
There is no charge for the initial conversation and no obligation to proceed.
WHY LONDON CLIENTS CHOOSE MGMT REPUTATION
We are not a law firm. What we do is the operational work of getting content removed — locating every instance, documenting it properly, framing submissions against the right policy provisions, and escalating when a first attempt fails.
For London matters specifically, the thing that matters most is scanning the whole UK network rather than just the London group. Because London is the largest group, its content is the most likely to have been copied elsewhere, and a takedown that removes the original while leaving three screenshots in place has not solved the problem.
We tell clients at intake what we assess their prospects to be, including when the answer is difficult. Every matter is handled confidentially — we do not publish client names and we do not use cases as examples.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I find out if I am posted at all?
You cannot check the group yourself — it is private and women-only. Our checker service scans the London group and the wider UK network and reports what exists.
I live in Surrey, not London. Would a post about me be in the London group?
Very likely, yes. There is no dedicated group for Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex or Kent, and the London group’s membership extends across the commuter belt.
Is there a deadline for acting?
For a defamation claim in England and Wales, generally one year from first publication, and reposting does not restart it. Other routes, including erasure requests, are not subject to that limit.
Will the poster know I contacted you?
No. We do not contact the poster, the group administrators, or anyone connected to you.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is confirmed at consultation. The initial conversation is free and there is no obligation.
Do I need a solicitor?
Usually not. Most matters resolve through platform removal, which is faster and considerably cheaper than litigation. Where a legal route is worth considering, we will say so and you can take independent advice.
