Remove revenge porn site content from Discord

Why this happens on Discord

• Discord servers can host private NCII trading communities behind invite walls. Server bots can mass post images across channels, and image links survive even when messages are deleted because of CDN caching.
• Revenge porn websites operate from jurisdictions with weak enforcement and use bullet proof hosting providers and CDN services to resist takedown. Direct site contact is rarely effective.
• Hosting provider and CDN escalation is usually the most effective lever. Cloudflare, AWS, Hetzner, and OVH all have abuse policies that prohibit hosting NCII and have terminated revenge porn sites in past actions.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Discord typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.

The takedown process

What to do, step by step

1. 01
   Document every instance before reporting Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, the posting account handle, and the upload timestamp. Full page screenshot of every URL where the content appears
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Content first appearing on Discord rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including AI generated derivatives.
3. 03
   Dispatch the takedown notice to Discord Discord accepts NCII reports through its Trust and Safety form and through its DMCA agent. Server level reports are processed faster than direct message reports.
4. 04
   Preserve identification metadata for subpoena Even anonymous accounts produce identifiable metadata through Discord. Account creation IP, device fingerprint, and posting history support law enforcement subpoena to identify the perpetrator. Doe defendant filings preserve civil claims while identification proceeds.
5. 05
   Notify Google and Bing for search deindexing Search engine deindexing runs in parallel to platform removal. Even after the original is removed, search engines retain cached thumbnails and snippets for weeks. File NCII removal requests with both Google and Bing alongside the platform notice.
6. 06
   File a police report and preserve the legal record 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for the site removal obligation regardless of jurisdiction provides the federal basis for the takedown. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every removal confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.

Legal context

• Discord is a covered platform under 47 USC 223a. Server owners have independent legal exposure under state NCII statutes for permitting distribution. This dual exposure routinely produces faster server level enforcement.
• 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for the site removal obligation regardless of jurisdiction
• DMCA Section 512 against the hosting provider and CDN
• Capture the server name, the channel id, and the message link including the discord.com path. Discord retains content on its CDN at cdn.discordapp.com even after message deletion. Report both the message and the CDN URL.
