Frequently asked questions
What does StopNCII actually do?
StopNCII creates a digital fingerprint of your image and shares it with participating platforms, which can then block uploads of that exact image. It does not scan the internet for your photos and does not send removal requests. If a platform is not in the StopNCII network, the tool has no effect there.
Does ScanErase work on platforms not covered by StopNCII?
Yes. ScanErase finds where your face appears on every platform hosting your likeness, regardless of whether that platform has a voluntary relationship with StopNCII or any other organization.
Can I use both at the same time?
Yes, they are not mutually exclusive. StopNCII can help block re-uploads on participating platforms while ScanErase actively finds existing content across a broader set of platforms.
What happens if a platform ignores the ScanErase findings?
ScanErase documents all findings and their delivery for further action if necessary.
