Remove revenge after breakup content from Facebook

Why this happens on Facebook

• Facebook Groups can host closed NCII trading communities that escape automated moderation. Marketplace listings have been used to distribute NCII as fake product images, and Profile photos can be reverse searched.
• Post breakup distribution typically occurs within the first 90 days after the relationship ends. The distribution is rarely random and often involves coordinated posting across multiple platforms.
• Many ex partners attach identifying information including the victim's name, employer, school, or contact details. This identifying context creates additional civil claims beyond the NCII statutes.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Facebook typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
