Leaked content can be removed quickly — sometimes by the platform, sometimes by the perpetrator hiding their tracks. Get evidence first, then act.
What to capture
- Screenshots of the content + comments + the account profile
- Direct URLs to each instance
- Date and time of capture (most platforms show this)
- Any threats, demands or context messages
Stay safe while documenting
Important
If the content is intimate / non-consensual, capture only what you need for evidence. Don't redownload more than necessary.
