Take It Down
Carnival removes intimate images and videos published without the consent of the person shown. Under the US TAKE IT DOWN Act, the person shown can ask us to, or someone authorized to act for them.
What to send
- Where it is: the address of each page, image or site on Carnival. Carnival sites end in .carnival-staging.page.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the image or video was published without the consent of the person shown, and anything else that helps us find it.
- Your name and email address, so we can reach you.
- Your signature. Typing your full name counts.
The form at https://carnival-staging.dev/take-it-down asks for each of these. If you can't use it, email the same details to abuse@carnival.dev.
What happens next
- We aim to remove it within 12 hours of a valid request; the law gives us 48.
- We remove the site it is on: it goes offline, and visitors see that it is unavailable for legal reasons (HTTP 451).
- We find identical copies on other Carnival sites by their digital fingerprint (hash), remove those too, and block the file so it can't be published on Carnival again. A copy that was edited or saved again may not match: tell us where it is, and we also check the uploader's other sites.
- We email you when it's done.
- The site's owner is told what was removed and why, but never who asked or how to reach you. If they appeal, a person reviews it.
Only Carnival's team sees your request. We keep it for 3 years, as we keep every report.
If the person shown is under 18
Use the report form and choose "Sexual content involving a child" instead. We aim to remove it within 1 hour, and we report it to NCMEC.
