Ask us to remove an intimate image
If an intimate image or video of you was shared on Connected without your consent, you can ask us to remove it. This includes real photos and videos, and images made or altered by computer to look like you. You do not need a Connected account. You can also ask for someone you are authorized to act for.
About the TAKE IT DOWN Act
The TAKE IT DOWN Act (TIDA) is a U.S. federal law that gives people the right to ask online platforms to remove intimate images or videos that were shared on the platform without their consent, including real photos or videos of them as well as images made or changed by computer to look like them, such as “deepfakes.” If you see such an image or video on Connected, this form is how you can request that we remove it. A valid request has your name as a signature, where we can find the image, a statement that you believe in good faith it was shared without consent, and a way to contact you.
What happens when you send this
- You get a reference number right away, and it will be sent by email if you give one.
- A person on our team reviews your request.
- If the request is valid, we remove the image, and identical copies we know of, in accordance with the requirements of the TIDA.
- We email you to say what we did, or why we could not remove it.
Please do not send the image itself. Tell us where it is.

Please send a request only if it is true. We may decline a request that is not valid, and if we do we will tell you why.
