Removing Impersonation Accounts That Use Your Photos
When someone creates accounts using your photos to impersonate you, those photos are being used without your consent. If the impersonation account includes intimate imagery, the TAKE IT DOWN Act applies. ScanErase finds these accounts via biometric scanning.
Impersonation accounts that use your genuine photographs without consent can be addressed through platform impersonation policies and, when intimate imagery is involved, through the TAKE IT DOWN Act. ScanErase's biometric scan identifies accounts using your face across 200+ platforms, including accounts designed to look like you for the purpose of harassment, catfishing, or reputation damage.
