Remove doxxing with images content from Reddit

Why this happens on Reddit

• Subreddits operate as semi public communities with low moderation latency. Once a thread surfaces in a default feed it can reach millions of impressions inside an hour, and reposting across subreddits is trivial.
• Doxxing campaigns are typically organized through specific online communities and operate against individuals targeted for political, ideological, or personal reasons.
• The combination of intimate content with personal identifying information is calculated to maximize harassment, including in person harassment at home or work locations.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on Reddit 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 doxxing content appears
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Content first appearing on Reddit 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 Reddit Reddit accepts statutory takedown notices through its dedicated non consensual intimate imagery form and through its DMCA agent. Both routes trigger Reddit's safety review pipeline.
4. 04
   Preserve identification metadata for subpoena Even anonymous accounts produce identifiable metadata through Reddit. 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 NCII portion of the content 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

• Reddit is a covered platform under 47 USC 223a. Reddit's Section 230 protections do not insulate it from the 48 hour removal obligation under the TAKE IT DOWN Act once a compliant notice is filed.
• 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for the NCII portion of the content
• 18 USC 2261A federal cyberstalking statute for the doxxing campaign
• Capture the post id, the subreddit name, the username, and the permalink. Reddit deletes posts when the original poster removes them, which destroys the URL but not the cached image. Save the image directly and record the timestamp.
