Protect Your Intimate Photos And Videos By Following These Steps
Manisha Swain
Pune, 26th May 2022: There are many instances where one’s private data like videos, and pictures are leaked online or one may feel threatened that someone might release their intimate pictures online. There are many organisations that work towards avoiding such situations and one of them is StopNCII.
In order to take action on Non-Consensual Image sharing on Social media platforms one can visit: https://stopncii.org/
One should follow the following steps to protect their intimate data:
1. Select the intimate image(s)/video(s) you want hashed from your device.
2. For each piece of content, StopNCII.org will generate a digital fingerprint, called a ‘hash’ on your device.
3. Only the hash is sent to StopNCII.org, the associated image or video remains on your device and is not uploaded.
4. If your case is created successfully, you will receive a case number to check your case status – remember to make a note of your case number along with the PIN, to access your case after it is submitted. This is not recoverable.
5. Participating companies will look for matches to the hash and remove any matches within their system(s) if it violates their intimate image abuse policy.
6. You can use your case number anytime to check the progress on your case, or if you wish to withdraw your participation.
