If intimate images of you are being shared

Services exist for exactly this. They are faster than a copyright complaint, and you need neither the copyright nor a copy of the image.

You do not have to upload anything. The services below fingerprint the image on your own device and send only that fingerprint to platforms. The image never leaves your phone.

Which service you need depends on your age when the images were made

Your age at the time, not your age now.

I was 18 or olderwhen the images were made I was under 18even if I am an adult now

Both sets are on this page in full. These scroll you to one, they do not hide the other.

If you were 18 or older at the time

StopNCII.org

Free · run by a charity

X is a participating platform, so a fingerprint created here can be matched against content on X itself.

Cyber Civil Rights Initiative

US · support and a crisis helpline

Guidance on removal, safety planning and legal options, plus a helpline staffed by people who handle this specifically.

Revenge Porn Helpline 0345 6000 459

UK · they contact platforms for you

They contact platforms on your behalf. Free, confidential, and they report a high success rate.

Keeping a record: Record URLs, usernames and dates, and take screenshots. That is what platforms and police ask for, and it survives the content being removed.

If you were under 18 at the time

Take It Down (NCMEC)

Any age now · images made under 18

Same method as StopNCII, but this is the correct service when the person was a minor at the time. You do not have to give your name.

NCMEC CyberTipline

Reporting the material itself

The US national reporting route for child sexual exploitation material.

Reporting it, and reaching the copies

Do these as well as the services above, not instead of them. They work in parallel, and the first one carries a legal deadline.

Report it to X

Content on X itself

Report it as an unauthorised photo or video, not as spam or harassment. That routes it to a different team and starts the clock described below.

X's Take It Down Act page

X's own statement of the 48 hour obligation

Worth having open when you report. It is X describing the deadline they are under, in their own words.

Internet Archive removal request

Snapshots saved by the Wayback Machine

Their dedicated route for this, separate from ordinary removal requests, and it does not depend on you owning the copyright.

FTC complaint

US · when a platform ignores you

The FTC enforces the removal obligation below. This is the escalation when a platform does not act.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act (United States). US federal law gives covered platforms 48 HOURS to remove non-consensual intimate images, including AI-generated ones, once the person depicted asks. The FTC enforces it.

It does not depend on you owning the copyright, unlike a DMCA notice. Saying plainly that you are the person depicted, and that the image is non-consensual, is what starts the clock.

US law. Elsewhere, most large platforms apply one policy globally, and the UK helpline above can pursue it directly.

What this page is, and is not

We do not remove anything and cannot act for you. The services above can. This page has no form, never asks what the images are, and records nothing about your visit. There is no account on this site, so there is nothing for a record of this visit to be attached to. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.
