The law requires platforms to take down nonconsensual intimate photos or videos and copies within 48 hours of your takedown request. If the platform doesn’t, tell the FTC. Help us hold platforms accountable.

Too many people have had intimate images shared without their consent. If that’s happened to you or your child, let’s talk about the Take It Down Act.
This federal law says platforms have to give you an easy way to ask them to take an intimate image down if it was shared without your consent. The law also requires those platforms — like social media apps or photo and video sharing sites — to take it and any known identical copies down within 48 hours.
But what if they don’t? Well…they should be held accountable for breaking the law…and you can help make that happen.
So: ask the platform to remove that image, wait 48 hours, and if they haven’t taken it or any known identical copies down, report them to the Federal Trade Commission at TakeItDown.ftc.gov.
If you can’t find the platform’s removal process, or if it was broken, report that to the FTC, too.
This matters because the FTC uses reports like yours to investigate and bring cases when platforms break the law.
So make your report count and help keep platforms accountable.
