Question

How long does a website have to remove revenge porn once I report it?

Accepted Answer

Under Section 3 of the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, in force since May 19, 2026, a covered platform has 48 hours after receiving a valid removal request to take down a nonconsensual intimate image and make reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies. The clock starts when the platform receives a request that identifies you, locates the content, states in good faith that it was published without consent, and gives contact information. The rule applies to websites, apps and online services that primarily host user-generated content or host intimate images in the regular course of business; it does not cover email providers or ordinary internet service providers. Platforms that miss the deadline are treated as violating an FTC rule and can face civil penalties of $53,088 per violation. Nearly every state adds its own criminal and civil remedies.
