Summary: Nude images plague today’s Internet space. The problem is, most of the images are posted without consent.
If you’re one of the many victims of what’s known as revenge porn, not all hope is lost. For years, people have dealt with the emotional stress of having their nude photos leaked across the Internet. Worst of all, there was simply nothing they could do about it. Don’t fret, this guide is designed to help minimize the damages that your ex has caused.
Make Contact With the Website Owner
If you know the specific domain that your pictures were leaked to, be sure and try to make contact with the owner of the site. But, let’s be realistic, these individuals are in it for the views and the clicks. They could care less about your privacy and the emotional impact that it’s caused to you. Still, it never hurts to try. Be upfront and firm, but also be sure that you maintain a high degree of self esteem as well.
Work To Get it Removed from Search Engines
If you haven’t done so already, file a DMCA takedown notice to the offending website or to the Internet Service Provider. DMCA is short for Digital Millenium Copyright Act and is comprised of a group of laws that protect against copyrighted content on a digital medium. If your picture is stolen and placed on the website without your consent, there is a chance that you can get it removed from the search engines by contacting a DMCA agent and providing the specifics of your case. Note that you need to follow the instruction of the agent and provide them with all the necessary details that he or she requires.
Look to Hire a Reputation Management Firm
Reputation management firms, like Reputation Stars, work to minimize the visibility of the images. By using tactics like Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and social media, these companies take control of the situation by making it much more difficult to locate the nude images. If the photos can’t be found, fewer people will even notice it exists, giving victims back their dignity and self-esteem.
