Step 1: Document everything

Capture URLs, screenshots, timestamps, and any account identifiers. According to CCRI research, thorough documentation increases takedown success rates by 26 percentage points. Keep a secure, organized record of every instance you find.

Step 2: Use platform reporting tools

Most platforms offer reporting paths for non-consensual intimate imagery. Submit reports with clear evidence and reference policy violations.

Step 3: Consider DMCA or right of publicity

If you own the original image, a DMCA notice can be effective. In some regions, right of publicity laws also apply.

Step 4: Contact the provider

Reach out to the service hosting the output. Provide evidence, identity verification, and explicit takedown requests.

Step 5: Monitor for re-uploads

Set alerts for your name or image keywords and follow up if the content reappears.
