How We Check That Your Content Comes Down

Overview

Adult Model Protection (AMP) uses automatic checks to keep track of every link we send a notice for. Automation does the repetitive checking; people on our team review results and approve every notice. This page explains each step in plain terms.

1. How we find copies

Our team runs scans for your account. A scan searches the web, image results and known sites for your model names, and can match the images you uploaded as content assets. See How We Scan for Content for what a scan covers.

2. A person reviews results and every notice

• Results: new scan results start hidden. A person on our team reviews them before they appear in your dashboard. To help sort them, an AI model can suggest what kind of page a result is (for example a forum or a shop page). That suggestion is only a hint for our team; it never decides anything on its own.
• Notices: a person on our team checks and approves every notice before it is sent. See Human Review of Results and Takedowns.

3. How we check a page after a notice

After the first notice for a link, our system checks the page automatically on set days: 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days after the notice, and then about once a month while the takedown is still open. A takedown without a notice is not checked.

Each check looks at what the website answers and at the page text. It does not look at images or videos.

What "removed" means

We treat a link as removed when one of these is true:

• The website answers that the page does not exist or is gone
• The website itself no longer exists
• The page no longer shows your name, while an earlier check did see your name there

We confirm a removal twice

One "removed" answer is not enough:

1. When a page looks removed, we ask again as a normal web browser would. Some sites show a "not found" page to checking tools while the page is still online for visitors. If the two answers disagree, a person looks.
2. About 6 hours later the page is checked again. Only when this check also says removed is the link marked removed.

When our own check marks a link removed, your takedown shows Verified by AMP.

When a site blocks automatic checks

Some sites block automatic checks or show a "prove you are human" page. We never try to get around that. Instead:

• A trusted web-reading service may read the page once as a second, independent check. It can only confirm that a page is still online. It never decides that a page is gone.
• If it cannot confirm the page either, a person on our team checks the page.
• If a page is still online at the 30-day check, our team decides the next step. That is never automatic.

Automation never marks your content as removed based on someone else's answer: a removal always needs our own check, confirmed twice.

Follow-up notices

When a follow-up notice is due, we check the links again first. A follow-up only includes links that our check found still online, and a person on our team approves it before it is sent.

Search engine removals

For a Google removal request we have recorded, we also run a web search for the exact link 7, 14 and 30 days after the request, to see whether Google still lists it. This tells our team how the request is going. It never marks a link removed by itself.

4. What we never do

• We never download or store your content from other sites. For each check we keep a short record: when we checked, what the site answered, where the page led, the page title and whether your name appeared. No page text, images, videos or screenshots.
• We never bypass a site's protections. No solving "prove you are human" checks, no logging in, no getting around paywalls, age checks or limits on how often a site can be visited.
• We never pass your account details to these tools. The web-reading service receives only the address of the page to check. Before an AI model helps sort pages, the page text is anonymised: your model names and other registered names, and our internal account references, are removed.

5. What the statuses in your dashboard mean

Each takedown shows a status such as Being prepared, In progress, Removed, Partly removed or Closed. See Takedown Status Workflow for what each one means and Keeping Track of Takedowns for where to find them.
