We are pleased to announce that SWGfL has partnered with Public Interest Registry (PIR) and Nominet – the guardians of .UK, two of the leading domain name registries to further the removal of non-consensually shared intimate images (NCII) from the internet. This partnership will enable these registries to address NCII which has been adjudicated by a court to be non-consensual.

This effort will leverage the Revenge Porn Helpline’s process of identifying images that have been identified to be non-consensual
