The TAKE IT DOWN Act covers all major US-headquartered platforms regardless of where the victim lives or where the content was created. This includes Google, Meta (Instagram, Facebook, Threads), Twitter/X, Reddit, Snap, TikTok, and the major adult content platforms. For victims based in the European Union, GDPR's right to erasure provides additional mechanisms. UK residents have access to the Online Safety Act protections. Canadian victims can use Canada's Intimate Images Without Consent Act. ScanErase serves international users, finding matches across all these platforms so you can file under whichever legal framework applies to you.

Frequently asked questions

I live in the EU. What rights do I have?

EU residents have both TAKE IT DOWN Act rights against US-headquartered platforms and GDPR right to erasure claims. GDPR erasure requests to EU-located platforms or processors carry their own enforcement mechanisms through your national Data Protection Authority.

I live in the UK. Do I have different rights?

UK residents have access to the Online Safety Act protections administered by Ofcom. ScanErase's scan finds matches on US-headquartered platforms under the TAKE IT DOWN Act and documents them for Ofcom reporting.

What if the platform is not US-headquartered?

For non-US-headquartered platforms, you'll need platform-specific reporting mechanisms and local legal frameworks where available. Compliance rates vary by country of incorporation.
