• Your consent was obtained under false pretenses or coercion
• You were under 18 when the content was created
• You have revoked previously given consent
• Your consent is void under applicable law

2. How to File a Content Removal Appeal

To request content removal as a depicted person, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Gather Required Information

• The URL(s) of the content featuring you
• A government-issued photo ID showing your face and date of birth
• A recent photo of yourself holding your ID and a note with today's date

• CCBill Form: Submit via CCBill Complaint Form
• Report Button: Click the three-dot menu on the content page and select "Report"

3. Identity Verification Process

To protect both you and content creators from fraudulent removal requests, we must verify your identity before removing content.

What We Verify:

1. Identity Match: We compare your submitted photo ID to the person depicted in the content to confirm you are the same person.
2. Photo Authenticity: We verify that your ID and selfie are legitimate and not manipulated.
3. Age Verification: We confirm your date of birth to ensure you were 18+ when the content was created.

Verification Timeline:

• Immediate Action: If we have reasonable suspicion that you were a minor in the content, we will immediately remove the content pending investigation.
• Standard Review: Most identity verifications are completed within 24-48 hours.
• Final Decision: We will notify you of our decision within 5 business days.

4. Consent Validation

After verifying your identity, we will evaluate whether valid consent existed for the content upload.

Content Will Be Removed If:

• You did not consent to the upload
• Your consent was obtained through coercion, fraud, or deception
• You were under 18 when the content was created
• You have legally revoked your consent
• The content violates applicable laws (revenge porn, non-consensual intimate images, etc.)

Content May Not Be Removed If:

• You provided documented, verifiable consent to the creator
• The content was uploaded as part of a valid commercial agreement you signed
• You are attempting to remove content after a business dispute

After reviewing your appeal, one of the following actions will be taken:

Immediate Content Removal:

• Content depicting minors (anyone under 18)

Creator Account Actions:

If consent was not given or was void, we may also take action against the creator:
