Taking Back Control: How Take It Down Empowers Teens Against Sextortion, Revenge Porn, and NCP
Taking Back Control: How Take It Down Empowers Teens Against Sextortion, Revenge Porn, and NCP

"Sextortion, revenge porn, and non-consensual pornography (NCP) devastate teens daily—over 32 million exploitation reports hit NCMEC’s CyberTipline in 2023 alone. Enter Take It Down (http://takeitdown.ncmec.org), a free NCMEC tool launched in 2022 to stop the spread of explicit content involving minors. It creates a private ‘hash’ to remove images from platforms like Instagram and Pornhub, helping over 12,000 users by mid-2023. But it’s just the start—sextortion’s 82% surge, revenge porn’s emotional toll (PTSD, job loss), and NCP’s rise (15 million U.S. adults affected) demand more. At Veridian Legal, we pair Take It Down with legal action: lawsuits for sextortion damages, revenge porn prosecutions, and NCP remedies. Visit the site to act, then call us—your fight begins here.

Client Reviews

  • ★★★★★

    “I rarely leave reviews, but I am incredibly grateful for Daniel Szalkiewicz and this firm. I researched for days on end to find a reputable and very knowledgeable attorney in my hometown state that could help me get some concrete answers on my constitutional rights as an author for an upcoming published book. With no success, I was advised to contact a NY attorney across the country. This firm was the 2nd firm I called, as the first didn't pick up. Daniel answered the phone after 2 rings. I thought I was going to get the run around like all other attorneys I had previously contacted, but not with Daniel. Not only did he respect my concerns, he went above and beyond to take an immense amount of time allowing me to explain everything.

    Daniel and his team worked on my case for years...due to covid. He's fair, responsive and got the judgment I deserved. So thankful to him and his team for all their efforts and time.

    I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to Daniel! He was honest, straightforward, worked efficiently and resolved my case. I normally dread interacting with attorneys. What a breath of fresh air!

    -B.R.

  • ★★★★★

    Daniel has gone above and beyond with me and I am grateful to have him. I talked to many lawyers and I don't feel like anyone that I talked to would have compared.
