How to Remove Nonconsensual Intimate Images Under the Take It Down Act

The 2025 Take It Down Act is now fully in force, requiring platforms to offer reporting and removal tools for nonconsensual intimate images.

Victims can first file takedown requests with social media, messaging, and image-sharing services; if a platform fails to comply, they can complain to the FTC.

The law aims to speed up removal of revenge porn and AI-generated sexual deepfakes, with platforms expected to act within 48 hours of a valid request.

Support resources include platform reporting tools and groups such as NCMEC, StopNCII.org, and the Revenge Porn Helpline.
