Ensuring Consent for Intimate Images

Ensuring Consent for Intimate Images on Megirlnextdoor

 

At Megirlnextdoor, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful platform for our users to share content. Sharing intimate photos or videos that were produced or distributed without consent is strictly against our policies. We take immediate action against any attempt to misuse our platform in this way.

 

What is a Non-Consensual Intimate Image (NCII)?

A Non-Consensual Intimate Image (NCII) is any sexually explicit image or video of an individual that is taken and/or shared without their consent. This includes images or videos captured in an intimate setting and not meant for public distribution.

 

How Megirlnextdoor Prevents the Sharing of NCII

1. Legal Responsibility: Each creator is legally accountable for the content they upload. Posting, uploading, or sharing explicit content featuring another person without their explicit consent is prohibited by our Terms of Service.

 

2. Confirming Consent: Creators must ensure they have informed consent from anyone featured in their explicit content. We take steps to verify the age and identity of all individuals depicted in intimate content and confirm their consent before allowing such content to be shared.

 

Actions Taken Against NCII

If we detect suspected NCII on our platform, we take the following actions:

- Immediate Removal: Suspected NCII content is removed immediately.

- Investigation and Ban: We investigate any user attempting to share NCII and may suspend or permanently ban them from our platform.

- Law Enforcement Support: We collaborate with law enforcement agencies to support investigations and prosecutions against individuals sharing NCII.

 

Reporting Suspected NCII

To report suspected NCII:

- Use the report button available on every post and account.

- Alternatively, email your concerns to support@megirlnextdoor.com

 

Withdrawal of Consent

If you previously consented to an intimate image of you being shared on Megirlnextdoor but have changed your mind, we respect your decision:

- Contact us at support@megirlnextdoor.com to withdraw your consent, and we will promptly remove the content.

 

Additional Measures to Prevent NCII Distribution

- Partnership with Organizations: We collaborate with organizations like StopNCII.org, which allows individuals to 'hash' their intimate images or videos. These hashes, unique values generated from the media's metadata, are shared with partners like us to prevent re-uploading hashed content.

- Proactive Measures: Our platform integrates these hashlists to block any attempt to upload hashed images or videos.

- Support Services: We offer information and resources from organizations like StopNCII.org to anyone reporting intimate image abuse on our platform.
