How to Find Images on Facebook
Meta (Facebook and Instagram) has implemented dedicated NCII reporting tools including integration with StopNCII.org, which uses hash-sharing to prevent content from spreading across platforms.
Meta operates both Facebook and Instagram and is a covered platform for finding your face. Meta was among the first major platforms to integrate with StopNCII.org, a hash-sharing program that creates a hash of intimate images before they are widely distributed and uses it to prevent them from being uploaded to participating platforms. Victims can use StopNCII.org without sharing the actual images with Meta.
