Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer to remove intimate images from the internet?
In most cases, no. The 2026 TAKE IT DOWN Act gives you the right to demand removal within 48 hours directly from platforms without attorney involvement. ScanErase automates that process. Attorneys like Minc Law are valuable when situations involve defamation, doxxing, or platform non-compliance requiring court action.
What if a platform ignores the ScanErase notice?
Non-compliant covered platforms face federal civil penalties. ScanErase documents all notice delivery. For platforms that remain non-compliant, engaging an attorney like Minc Law for follow-up becomes a logical next step.
Is $89 enough to actually get content removed?
For most standard NCII situations, yes. The TAKE IT DOWN Act creates a clear legal obligation for covered platforms. ScanErase's 84% within-window compliance rate reflects how effective automated legal notices are for the majority of cases.
