AI Tips: Learn how to get offensive photos removed from the internet; the process is easy..
Although AI is a very useful tool, it is now being used extensively for obscene purposes. A recent example is Grok, the chatbot from Elon Musk's company xAI, which is being used to digitally undress women on Twitter. In fact, a very serious trend has emerged on X (formerly Twitter) recently, where people are sharing pictures of women and asking Grok to digitally remove their clothes. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Grok is digitally undressing women. So, the question arises: what can you do if your picture is used in this way? Can you get your picture removed from the internet? The answer is yes, and for this, you will need the help of StopNCII.org. Let's understand in detail how anyone can get their obscene or indecent pictures removed from the internet.
What is Grok doing?
In the last few weeks, it has been observed that people are sharing pictures of women online on X and asking Grok to digitally remove their clothes. People only need to write a prompt of one or two lines, and Grok readily complies. Countries around the world, including India, have taken a strict stance on this, but today, when it's so easy to create pictures of someone in revealing clothing, you should also know how to get those pictures removed.
What is StopNCII?
To get your indecent picture removed from the internet, you will need the help of StopNCII. StopNCII stands for Stop Non-Consensual Intimate Image Abuse, which means stopping the misuse of intimate images taken or created without consent. It is a free tool designed to help victims of the misuse of non-consensual intimate images (NCII). StopNCII.org is run by the Revenge Porn Helpline, which is part of SWGfL. SWGfL is part of a well-known international charity. This charity believes that every person should have access to technology to protect themselves from harm. Now let's understand how this works.
How are obscene and offensive images removed from the internet?
This tool works in such a way that you don't have to re-upload your private picture or video to another location to have it removed from the internet. Their system works by generating a hash of your private photo or video. The image hashing process is completed using an algorithm. This generates a unique hash value for any photo or video. You can think of it as a unique number. This technology is also called a 'digital fingerprint'. StopNCII.org then shares the hash with its partner companies so they can help detect and remove the images from being shared online.
How to remove offensive pictures and videos?
To create your case on this website, you will find the option to create a case on the website's homepage. After that, you will be asked for information about your photo or video in 9 steps. After providing this information, a hash value will be created by scanning the photo or video from your device.
Then, StopNCII will share that hash value with its partners. After that, the partners will remove the content that matches that hash value. StopNCII periodically searches online for content matching that hash value, and the removal process continues. After creating a case, you will be given an ID. With its help, you will be able to check the progress of your case. It's worth noting that this method of removing offensive images from the internet is up to 90% successful, and everyone should know how to use it in this age of AI.
