Designing Effective NCIM Response Systems and Policies

Develop and evaluate systems and policy frameworks for social media platforms that effectively respond to non-consensual intimate media (NCIM), ensuring timely removal, user protection, and accountability consistent with privacy rights.

Background

The paper underscores gaps between legally mandated copyright takedowns and voluntary privacy-oriented NCIM removal, arguing that platform goodwill is insufficient. The authors call for designing and assessing interventions—technical, procedural, and policy—to ensure robust NCIM mitigation.

This problem focuses on creating concrete, actionable mechanisms (e.g., reporting workflows, enforcement benchmarks, and transparency measures) that demonstrably reduce harm to victim-survivors while balancing privacy and safety.
