Kurnool: There are increasing cases of loan app organizers harassing people and extorting money from people by posting their morphed or obscene pictures. Such victims now have a reliable platform to seek support — StopNCII.org.
This innovative service ensures that victims never have to worry about pictures or videos being posted online again.
The website’s primary goal is to help those who have been harassed by scammers and fraudsters, who force people to send inappropriate images under threats of violence or public humiliation. In many cases, these threats have led to serious consequences, including suicide, as people struggle to cope with the emotional toll of such abuse. The website offers a free, accessible solution to prevent more victims.
To use StopNCII.org, people who have been threatened by loan app hosts or scammers need to go to the website and upload a picture or video they previously shared with criminals. The website will generate a digital fingerprint, or hash, of the content. The hash will be sent to StopNCII.org’s partners, including major platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, PornHub and OnlyFans.
Victims receive a case number and PIN, which can be used to track the progress of their case. The website continues to scan partner platforms for any further violations of victims’ privacy. This service is especially useful for people who are concerned about the possibility of their images being reproduced online without their consent.
Senior police officers of Prakasam district have endorsed this service as an important tool to help protect victims from constant threats. “This is a website that currently serves citizens of various countries, providing a basic layer of protection against posting obscene or morphed images. We recommend this service to anyone facing such threats,” said a senior police officer.
