Is your site TAKE IT DOWN Act ready?

Since May 19, 2026, US platforms that host user content must offer a clear way to report non-consensual intimate images and remove them within 48 hours. Check whether your forum or community shows one.

What the checker looks for

We load your homepage, one forum or community page it links to, and up to three report, contact or policy pages, the places a visitor would look. Then we check for a visible way to report intimate images shared without consent, and for general reporting channels like abuse or DMCA contacts.

  • Looks ready: a dedicated way to report intimate images (or a TakeDown Kit portal) is linked.
  • Partly there: only general reporting options, nothing specific to intimate images.
  • Not found: no reporting channel on the pages we checked.

What the TAKE IT DOWN Act requires

Since May 19, 2026, US platforms that host user content must publish a clear, plain-language process for reporting non-consensual intimate images, including AI deepfakes, and remove valid reports, plus known identical copies, within 48 hours. The FTC enforces it, with penalties of up to $53,088 per violation.

What does this checker look at?

Your homepage, one linked forum or community page, and up to three report, contact or policy pages. It looks for a visible way to report intimate images shared without consent, or general abuse and DMCA reporting options.

What if the checker says "Not found" but we handle reports by email?

The Act expects the process to be clear and conspicuous. If people cannot find it from your homepage or near the content, add a visible link, for example in your footer.

Is the checker free, and do you store my site?

It is free. We keep the domain, the result and the time of the check, and cache the result for an hour. We do not store page content.
