No clock on the 48 hours
Removal is due within 48 hours of a valid request. With no deadline attached to each report, the window closes while the report sits in an inbox.
No record you can show
If the FTC asks when a report arrived and when the content came down, a mail thread is not an answer. You need a timestamped log. Civil penalties reach $53,088 per violation.

Every Report Carries Its Own Deadline
The moment a report lands, a 48-hour deadline is attached to it, and an hourly sweep escalates anything close to the line. Nothing sits in an inbox.

Enforcement is live — the compliance deadline has already passed
The FTC began enforcing the TAKE IT DOWN Act on May 19, 2026. A covered platform needs a published removal process, a 48-hour turnaround, and proof.
Covered Platforms, Whatever You Call Yours
Forums
Member-posted images put community sites squarely inside the statute.
Dating apps
Profile photos and private messages are the surface the law was written for.
Marketplaces
User-uploaded listing photos count, and so do the messages buyers and sellers exchange.
Fan platforms
Creator uploads and subscriber posts, where consent disputes are most common.
Media hosts
If people can upload and share images or video, you are a covered platform.
Gaming & chat
The FTC names gaming and messaging services directly in its own guidance.

The Act, in plain language.
Who has to comply with the TAKE IT DOWN Act?
Any “covered platform” — a website, app or online service that primarily provides a forum for user-generated content, or that in the regular course of business publishes intimate visual depictions. The FTC names social media, messaging, image and video sharing, and gaming services. Being small is not a defence.
What makes a removal request valid?
A written request from the depicted person or an authorised representative, carrying a physical or electronic signature, information sufficient to locate the depiction, a good-faith statement that it was published without consent, and contact details. The TrustDesk form collects exactly those four things.
What happens if we miss the 48 hours?
The FTC treats a failure to remove a valid report within 48 hours as an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Civil penalties reach $53,088 per violation, and anyone can report a non-compliant platform directly to the FTC at TakeItDown.ftc.gov.
Is the policy generator really free?
Yes. Give us your platform name, URL and a contact address and you get the policy text plus a footer snippet to paste, with no account and no card. Host it wherever you like — the text is yours to keep. We hold the email so we can tell you if the rules change.
What is the difference between the kit and the hosted desk?
The $249 kit is bought once: your own hosted report form, the policy text and the footer snippet, and an operator email whenever somebody reports something. The $49-a-month desk adds the parts that have to keep running — a 48-hour deadline on every report, an hourly sweep that escalates anything close to the line, and an append-only evidence log.
How long does setup take?
Minutes. Checkout gives you a report link for your platform, the policy text and the footer snippet. Paste the link into your footer and you are receiving reports — there is nothing to install and no SDK.
The Act, in plain language.
Still unsure if this is you?
Send us the details and we will tell you straight
