My Images Are on the Dark Web

The dark web, websites accessible only through Tor or similar anonymizing networks, exists outside the direct reach of standard compliance frameworks. Dark web platforms are not treated the same as mainstream services. However, content that originates on the dark web often gets re-posted to clear web platforms, and those copies can be tracked.

ScanErase focuses on the clear web aspect of this issue, finding every copy of your images on publicly accessible platforms. This limits the spread and prevents dark web content from gaining wider reach through mainstream platforms.

For the dark web source, law enforcement is the appropriate channel. The FBI Cyber Division addresses dark web NCII cases and has tools to identify and pursue operators of dark web platforms that distribute non-consensual intimate imagery.
