You can’t always control whether something posted by another person is taken down, but there are things you can try.
If something’s been shared or posted by your friends or family, you can try asking them to delete it. It can help to be assertive and explain why you want it taken down and how it’s affecting you.
If someone’s bullying or being nasty to you online, you might also be able to report what’s happened to get it taken down.
People sharing naked photos or videos of you
Sharing naked or sexual photos of videos of you without your consent is against the law. And if you’re under 18, it’s against the law for anyone to have a sexual image or video of you at all.
You can report any sexual images or videos posted of you to the websites or apps and most of them will take them down. You can also make a report to the IWF, who can help to take it off the internet. Get more support on sexting.
It can also be against the law to threaten to share someone’s nudes. If you’re worried about what’s happening, we can help.
