What this is for
If a video on ThreadWith shows you in an intimate way and it was posted without your consent, you can ask us to remove it, and United States law says we must do so within 48 hours of a valid request. This page says how to ask, what happens when you do, and what we need from you. It covers real footage and digitally altered footage that looks like you.
How to ask
Use the form at /report/intimate-image on this site. In the app, choose Report on the video and then "An intimate image of me, shared without my consent", or open Settings and choose "Remove an intimate image of you". You do not need an account. The form asks for the link to the video, your name, an email address, a sentence saying where you appear, a statement that you believe in good faith the video was posted without consent, and your signature, which you give by typing your name.
What happens the moment you send it
The video is taken out of public view immediately, before anyone at ThreadWith has looked at it. While we review it, only our moderators and the account that posted it can see it. You get an email confirming we have the request, with a request number and the time by which we will decide.
The 48 hours
A person reviews every request. We decide within 48 hours of receiving it; these requests sit at the top of our moderation queue, with the time left on each one shown. If we remove the video, it stays removed: we delete its file and block the same file from being uploaded again. If we do not remove it, we email you the reason in plain words, and you can send a new request with more information and we will look again.
Who can ask
The person depicted, or someone authorised to act for them, such as a parent or guardian of a minor. We may ask for something that confirms that authority. Do not send us intimate images to prove a point: describe where you appear instead. We do not need, and do not want, a copy.
What we keep
We keep the request, our decision and the reason for it, so that a decision can be reviewed. We do not publish the request or your details. A false request made to take down a video the person had every right to post is a misuse of this process.
Other ways to report
Every video has a Report control for harassment, violence, sexual content, content involving a minor and more. Those reports go to the same moderators, on their own clocks. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the police first.
