Summary
On May 20, 2026, as the FTC began enforcing the 2025 federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, Chairman Ferguson sent warning letters to 15 major platforms including Reddit, Inc., stating they appeared not to provide victims an adequate process to request removal of nonconsensual intimate imagery within the law's 48-hour window. The letters were a first enforcement step warning of civil penalties (up to $53,088 per violation) for continued noncompliance, not a filed complaint. Reddit maintains a TAKE IT DOWN Act removal form and a platform-wide NCII prohibition.
