How to Make Apps and Websites Remove Your Nonconsensual Nudes
"Once someone submits a takedown request, a platform has up to 48 hours to determine whether it is valid. If it decides that it is, then it has to remove both the content reported and any identical copies."
"Several larger platforms say they use an industry tool called StopNCII, which uses matching algorithms to identify abusive images and videos and is maintained by a British nonprofit. People can open cases directly on the tool's website to add to what the tool flags. Reddit, TikTok, Snap, Microsoft Bing, and Meta's social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are all listed as participants on the tool's website."
"Though many major platforms have dedicated forms to help guide the submission process, Alejandro Cuevas, a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy who studied the impact of the initial passage of the law on deepfake communities, has observed that some sites only offer an email address for people to submit takedown requests. Cuevas says in those cases, keeping good documentation, including links to the offending content, is especially important."
"To file a takedown request for some Microsoft products, including Bing Search and OneDrive, Microsoft has a form entitled " Report a Concern." People first have to identify the service the content is on and share a link to it before identifying their "Concern type" as "Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery.""

If the request is accepted, the platform must remove the reported content and any identical copies. Several large platforms use an industry tool called StopNCII that uses matching algorithms to identify abusive images and videos. People can open cases on the tool’s website to add information to what the tool flags. Some platforms provide dedicated submission forms, while others may only provide an email address. In those cases, keeping documentation such as links to the content is important to prevent delays or noncompliance. Meta states it has been compliant for months and provides help pages for submissions. Microsoft provides a “Report a Concern” form for certain products, requiring service identification and a link before selecting “Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery.”
