Remove romance scam victim content from Erome

Why this happens on Erome

• Erome is a primary destination for leaked OnlyFans and other paywalled creator content. Albums can be linked from Telegram and Discord at scale, driving large traffic spikes to individual victims' content.
• Romance scam to sextortion pivots are a documented pattern of organized scam operations. The romance phase establishes intimacy and obtains images, then the operation pivots to extortion demands.
• Most romance scam operations are based outside the United States, often in West Africa or Southeast Asia. The FBI maintains active investigations and international cooperation channels for these cases.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Erome typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.

Legal context

• 18 USC 2261A federal cyberstalking statute for the extortion phase
• 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act if any content has been distributed
• Capture the album URL, the album title, and the uploader username. Erome obfuscates uploader identity but Cloudflare logs may be subpoenaed by law enforcement to identify the source.
