Question

Accepted Answer

A good-faith statement is the requester's affirmed assertion that they genuinely believe the reported content is unlawful or unauthorized. The TAKE IT DOWN Act requires a brief statement of good-faith belief that an intimate depiction is nonconsensual; the DMCA requires a statement of good-faith belief that a use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; the DSA requires confirmation of a bona fide belief that the notice is accurate and complete. Platforms rely on these statements to act quickly, and knowingly false statements can expose the sender to damages, perjury consequences, or loss of the right to notify.
