Revenge Porn Helpline Partners with Public Interest Registry and Nominet to Extend Protections Against NCII

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. The Revenge Porn Helpline (a service operated by SWGfL) identifies instances of NCII across the internet, working closely with industry platforms to ensure content can be swiftly actioned and taken down. We currently have a 90% success rate in our takedown efforts. Despite this, we are constantly met with barriers that restrict us from taking action against all instances of NCII that we identify, mainly due to sites that are non-compliant. This effort will leverage the Revenge Porn Helpline’s process of identifying images that have been identified to be non-consensual
