Local forums, city subreddits, Nextdoor, regional Facebook groups, community boards, and neighborhood apps, can be particularly harmful because they reach people in your immediate geographic and social community. Content appearing on a local forum is more likely to be seen by your neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances than content on a general adult platform.

Forums that serve US-based users are subject to scrutiny. ScanErase helps you find where your face appears on local forum platforms and other sites. For non-compliant platforms, you may choose to take further actions based on your findings.

Local forums often have identifiable moderators and community administrators. After discovering your exposure, you can contact the forum's moderators through the platform's abuse tools to report the situation. ScanErase identifies the platform and provides your exposure report, while you can simultaneously reach out to local moderators for further assistance.
