Remove employer found content from Patreon

Why this happens on Patreon

• Patreon's paywall model limits casual sharing but creator accounts can be compromised and used to post unauthorized content. Adult tier creators have particular exposure to leak and impersonation risks.
• Routine background checks, social media monitoring, and anonymous tips by coworkers are the most common employer discovery channels. The discovery itself does not establish your fault.
• Most employment law jurisdictions distinguish between employee misconduct and employee victimization. Documented, immediate response to NCII establishes the victim status that protects employment.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Patreon 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. Any communications from the employer raising the issue, including emails and HR meeting notes
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Content first appearing on Patreon 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 Patreon Patreon accepts NCII reports through its trust and safety contact form and through its DMCA agent. Verified creator accounts have identity documentation on file which supports law enforcement subpoenas.
4. 04
   Preserve identification metadata for subpoena Even anonymous accounts produce identifiable metadata through Patreon. 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 platform removal obligation 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

• Patreon is below the covered platform user threshold but is subject to DMCA and to state NCII statutes. The platform's adult content moderation policy provides additional grounds for removal independent of statutory takedown.
• 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for the platform removal obligation
• State NCII statutes against the perpetrator who originally distributed the content
• Capture the creator URL, the post id, and the membership tier. Patreon retains payment records and creator identity documents which are accessible to law enforcement under subpoena.
