Remove sextortion content from XVideos

Why this happens on XVideos

• XVideos has limited automated moderation compared to Pornhub. NCII content frequently remains live for longer periods, and re uploads under different titles are common.
• Organized sextortion rings run high volume operations targeting tens of thousands of victims a year. The perpetrator is rarely the only person involved and the operation is rarely a single jurisdiction.
• Payment confirms the victim's willingness to pay and produces escalating demands in over 80 percent of documented cases. The threat does not stop after payment.
• Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on XVideos typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.

Legal context

• XVideos is incorporated in the Czech Republic and is subject to GDPR Article 17 right to erasure. EU based victims have a statutory right to removal independent of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, with parallel filing accelerating response.
• 18 USC 2261A federal cyberstalking and extortion statute
• 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act if any content has been distributed
• Capture the video URL, the uploader username, and the video tags. XVideos has historically been slower to retain hash signatures, so re uploads must be reported separately as new instances.
