Once someone submits a takedown request, the platform has up to 48 hours to determine whether it is valid. If it decides to do so, it must remove the reported content and any similar copies.
Many of the larger platforms say they use an industry tool called Stop NCIIwhich uses matching algorithms to identify offensive images and videos and is run by a British non-profit organisation. People can open cases directly on the tool’s website to add to what the tool reports. Social media platforms Reddit, TikTok, Snap, Microsoft Bing, Meta Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are listed as participants on the tool’s website.
Although many major platforms have designated templates to help guide the application process, Alejandro Cuevas, a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy who studied the impact of the initial version of the law on deepfake communities, noted that some sites only provide an email address for people to submit takedown requests.
In those cases, maintaining good documentation, including links to infringing content, is especially important, Cuevas says, because there are concerns that if “applicants fail to do one of these things, it will serve as a shield for the company to potentially not comply with the request, delay it, or drag its feet.”
