Remove Sextortion Content From Xvideos

What is Sextortion content?

Sextortion involves threatening to distribute intimate images — authentic or AI-generated — unless a victim pays money, provides more images, or complies with other demands. Sextortion is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. 2261A and is also criminalized under state extortion statutes in every US jurisdiction.

How Xvideos is required to respond

Xvideos is a covered platform under the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act (47 U.S.C. 223a). Upon receiving a formally compliant Section 223a removal notice, Xvideos has 48 hours to remove the identified content. Failure to comply exposes Xvideos to FTC civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation per day.

Xvideos's current compliance rate for TAKE IT DOWN Act notices is 74%, with a median removal time of 34 hours. Formal legal notices consistently outperform informal platform reporting in both speed and reliability.

The removal process for Sextortion on Xvideos

Do not pay the perpetrator — payment rarely stops demands
Document all threat communications without responding
Run a biometric scan to check if content has already been posted
If content has been posted, ScanErase dispatches removal notices immediately with 48-hour deadlines
Report to the FBI IC3 at ic3.gov with your documented evidence

After Xvideos removes your content

After Xvideos removes your sextortion content, ScanErase takes several additional steps. We request hash-blocking so the same content cannot be re-uploaded to Xvideos. We also send de-indexing requests to major search engines so that cached versions of the content no longer appear in search results. Your Evidence Locker documents the full timeline — from initial scan to confirmed removal — providing evidence for any civil or criminal proceedings you choose to pursue.

ScanErase also simultaneously sends removal notices to all other platforms where the same content appears. Content found on Xvideos is typically also present on an average of 6.3 other platforms. A single scan and simultaneous notice dispatch covers all of them at the same time.

Common questions

Should I pay the person threatening to share my images?

No. Payment rarely stops demands and frequently escalates them. The perpetrator is committing federal extortion regardless of what you do. The FBI IC3 and NCMEC both advise against payment.

What if the perpetrator is in another country?

The FBI IC3 handles international sextortion cases and has relationships with foreign law enforcement agencies. Report immediately regardless of where the perpetrator appears to be located.
