Remove screen recorded call 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.
• Most video calling apps do not notify participants when the other party screen records. FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, and Snapchat all permit silent recording.
• Screen recording of intimate calls is frequently used as a control tactic by partners or as a prelude to sextortion. The recording itself may have occurred months before the distribution.
• 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.

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. The full call history showing the date, time, and other participant of every relevant call
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Content first appearing on Facebook 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 Facebook Facebook accepts NCII reports through Meta's NCII portal and through the in app report flow. Marketplace, Groups, and Profile content all share the same reporting pipeline.
4. 04
   Do not contact the ex partner before notices are filed Do not delete the call history or block the perpetrator's number before evidence is preserved. The call records establish the underlying recording event. All communication during the active removal phase should be through counsel. The ex partner's behavior during this period is critical evidence.
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 distribution 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

• Meta operates the NCII Hash Database Pilot in cooperation with the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative. A successful Facebook removal often produces a hash that is propagated to Instagram and other Meta platforms automatically.
• 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for distribution
• State recording consent statutes which require all party consent in 12 states
• Capture the post URL, the group name, and the user profile URL. Facebook retains content metadata for 90 days post deletion which supports subpoena requests through Facebook Law Enforcement Online Requests.
