Standard reverse image search identifies fewer than 4% of unique hosting locations for any piece of leaked intimate imagery. The rest are re-encoded, cropped, or resized copies that evade pixel-matching algorithms. ScanErase uses biometric face scanning, which matches the geometry of your face regardless of pixel-level changes. This means finding the content on adult sites, imageboards, Telegram channels, and forum threads that reverse search completely misses. The TAKE IT DOWN Act then gives you a direct right to demand removal from every platform within 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions

What if I do not know where my images were shared?

That is the most common situation. ScanErase scans the web for your likeness without requiring you to identify specific URLs. The biometric scan finds locations you did not know about.

Can images from years ago still be removed under the TAKE IT DOWN Act?

Yes. The Act applies to content that is currently hosted and accessible, regardless of when it was originally shared. Old content that is still live is still removable.
