Google Search is the world's most-used search engine. When intimate images appear in Google results, they may be hosted on any number of sites, from social media to adult content platforms to personal blogs. ScanErase scans for all URLs where your likeness appears and sends TAKE IT DOWN Act notices to both Google and the underlying hosting platforms. Removing only from Google leaves the source content live.

Frequently asked questions

If Google removes the image from search, is it gone from the internet?

No. Removing a URL from Google Search means it no longer appears in Google results, but the image remains on its hosting platform. ScanErase sends notices to the source platform as well so the content is actually deleted.

How long does Google take to process a TAKE IT DOWN Act notice?

Google's median removal time under a 223a notice is 8.4 hours. The 48-hour statutory deadline creates a firm compliance window.

Can I remove images from Google without ScanErase?

Google has a direct reporting tool at google.com/content-removal. It is free but requires you to know the URLs in advance. ScanErase finds URLs you may not know about via biometric scanning and handles the notice process.
