Legal context

• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded institutions
• State student safety statutes requiring school investigation of student NCII incidents
• 4chan is below the covered platform threshold but is subject to DMCA and to state NCII statutes. The most effective leverage is the third party archive operators, who are typically more responsive than 4chan itself.
• Promptchan attribution: Public gallery visibility means Promptchan content is highly findable and supports both DMCA copyright claims (where the source photograph is owned by the victim) and 47 USC 223a removal.
