Remove stolen phone images content from xHamster

Why this happens on xHamster

• xHamster's community section allows comments and reposts that can amplify NCII content even after the original video is removed. Community profiles can also serve as redistribution hubs.
• Phone theft rings frequently extract personal content from devices before resetting them for resale. Specialized buyers exist for content extracted from devices belonging to specific demographics.
• Stolen phones are typically reset within 72 hours of theft, which destroys most local evidence. The distribution online may occur weeks later through buyers in the secondary market.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on xHamster typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
