Intimate images shared without your consent

How to ask for removal

Email us at ant@socialme.me (tap to open your email app with the subject filled in), or copy the address: ant@socialme.me

Opening your email app does not send anything and does not notify us. Pressing send in your own email is not proof we received it — the legal clock described below starts when your request actually reaches our inbox. If you don't hear back, email us again.

For your request to be valid under the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act, include these four things:

1. Your signature — typing your full name at the end of the email counts as an electronic signature. If you are writing for someone else (for example a parent, lawyer or representative), say who you are and that you are authorized to act for the person depicted.
2. Where the content is — enough information for us to find it. A link to the post, Moment, story, highlight or profile is best, but a link is not required: the account's @username and where you saw it (for example "their profile photo", "a story posted today", "a Moment on their profile") also work. For content shared in private messages, tell us the conversation and roughly when.
3. A brief good-faith statement that the content was shared without your consent, with a little context (for example: "I sent this privately to one person and it is now posted publicly").
4. Your contact information — an email address or phone number so we can reach you.

You do not need to attach the images or videos, create an account, or provide ID.

What happens next

• U.S. law (the TAKE IT DOWN Act) requires covered platforms to remove validly reported nonconsensual intimate imagery within 48 hours of receiving a valid request, and to make reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies. The 48 hours starts when we receive a request that includes the four things above — if something is missing, we'll tell you what to add.
• Removal is done by our team, not automatically — we review each request, remove the content, and confirm back to you by email.
• We remove content from SocialMe and our own storage. We can't guarantee erasure of copies other people made (screenshots, downloads) or copies cached by other apps, search engines or archiving services — those are outside our control, though caches usually expire on their own.
• Sharing intimate images of someone without their consent breaks our Community Guidelines. Accounts that do it can be suspended or permanently removed.

1. My name and signature (typing your full name counts as an electronic signature):

Other situations

• Signed in? You can also use the in-app Report option on any profile, post, Moment, story or conversation. For intimate imagery, emailing this page's address is the formal special process; ordinary in-app reports are still accepted and reviewed.
• Someone under 18: sexual imagery that may involve a minor is treated as suspected child sexual exploitation and escalated immediately. Report it to us and to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at report.cybertip.org. If you are under 18 and this happened to you, NCMEC's Take It Down service can also help stop it spreading.
• Copyright (for example your photo reposted without permission, but not intimate imagery): see the copyright complaints section of our Terms of Service.
• Immediate danger: call 911 or your local emergency number. SocialMe can't respond to emergencies.
