NCMEC-National Center for Missing and Exploited Children

Having nudes or sexually-exploitive images or videos taken when you were a child out there on the internet can be frightening and overwhelming, but there is hope to get it taken down.

Survivors often say the process to get images down can be complicated, time consuming or feel invasive, but NCMEC is here to help and you can report the images or videos to our CyberTipline. You can also report the images or videos directly to the companies. On this page you can find tips for both options.

NCMEC also offers a service called Take It Down, which helps remove nude, partially nude or sexually explicit photos and videos of underage people by assigning a unique digital fingerprint, called a hash value, to the images or videos. Online platforms can use those hash values to detect these images or videos on their public or unencrypted services and take action to remove this content. Learn more about how to use the service here.
