Telegram channels that distribute intimate content often reach thousands of subscribers and can spread content faster than almost any other platform. Public Telegram channels are accessible to US users. ScanErase finds where your face appears in these channels and provides you with the exposure report.

Private Telegram channels and groups pose a different challenge, their content is not directly accessible outside the group. However, content from private Telegram channels frequently gets posted to public platforms, and ScanErase scans for those public copies using biometric technology.

If you know someone who is a member of the private channel distributing your content, they can document and find the channel through Telegram's abuse reporting system. Law enforcement can also subpoena Telegram account information in active criminal investigations. Telegram has cooperated with law enforcement subpoenas in a growing number of NCII cases.
