Platform Accountability
TAKE IT DOWN Act: Platform Audit
A forensic audit of how 13 major platforms are preparing to comply with the first federal law criminalizing non-consensual deepfake imagery.
Key Findings
Zero out of 13 major platforms have published a TAKE IT DOWN Act compliance page or committed to 48-hour NCII removal. The platforms where non-consensual intimate images are most likely to be distributed — Telegram, XVideos, XNXX — are the least prepared.
The one platform subject to actual enforcement — Pornhub/Aylo, via a $5M FTC/Utah settlement — is the second-most-compliant platform audited. Enforcement works.

The peer research behind this audit: a public record review of compliance across 10 distribution platforms during the Act's first year. We found that 9 of 10 platforms publish no NCII-specific enforcement data, making the 48-hour standard unverifiable, and documented over 100 nudify applications operating entirely outside the Act's statutory scope.
The StopNCII.org Coverage Gap
If a victim hashes their images via StopNCII.org, those hashes are checked against roughly 60% of major social media — but 0% of messaging apps, 0% of adult content sites, and 0% of AI generation platforms.
StopNCII Partners
Meta, TikTok, X, Reddit, Snapchat, Microsoft Bing, Patreon, Bluesky
Notable Non-Partners
