Alongside TIDA enforcement, the FTC launched TakeItDown.ftc.gov to collect complaints. The tool is designed to support enforcement actions requiring platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate images and copies.

The FTC’s May 19, 2026 announcement on enforcing the TAKE IT DOWN Act (TIDA) also highlighted a practical reporting channel for victims and other affected parties. The agency launched TakeItDown.ftc.gov, a dedicated complaint intake site intended to streamline how removal requests are submitted and reviewed under the new enforcement regime. TIDA targets nonconsensual intimate images and related copies—particularly the growing wave of AI-assisted deepfakes used to shame victims, manipulate reputations, and pressure people into paying to stop distribution. By combining platform removal requirements with a formal complaint intake mechanism, the FTC is trying to reduce delays that often allow harmful content to proliferate across social feeds and reuploads. For consumers, the complaint process is meant to make it easier to notify the appropriate platforms and to trigger a legally required response. For businesses, the FTC’s accompanying guidance clarifies compliance expectations tied to a platform’s removal-request process and timing. With enforcement beginning immediately, the intake site is positioned as a key gateway into regulatory scrutiny, helping the FTC identify situations where platforms may fail to remove qualifying content within the required window after a valid request.
