This page turns outrage into action: clear steps for reporting abuse, supporting survivors, and putting pressure on the companies that keep these sites online.
Three ways to push back: report, support, and hold infrastructure accountable.
NCII and AI pornography thrive because they are profitable, scalable, and hard to see. ShadowStack exists to make the invisible visible. Use it to document what you find, then follow the steps below.
1 Report what you see
If you encounter AI‑generated sexual abuse, treat it as evidence, not content.
Do not download illegal content (especially if minors are involved). Capture URLs, timestamps, and screenshots of infrastructure data instead.
Use ShadowStack to map hosting, CDN, DNS, and payment providers linked to the URL.
In Canada, report child‑exploitation content to Cybertip.ca and non‑consensual intimate imagery to local law enforcement where safe.
Use the platform's reporting tools (e.g., Meta, X, Reddit, Discord) and paste relevant URLs and screenshots.
2 Stand with survivors
Most people who experience NCII never go public. The first response they get matters.
Believe them. Avoid questions that sound like blame: "Why did you send that?" or "Why were you online with them?"
Help them document evidence and file reports instead of asking them to handle it alone.
Share trusted support resources (e.g., Canadian Centre for Child Protection, Women's Shelters Canada, local crisis lines).
Offer to be the contact person with platforms or providers if it feels overwhelming for them.
3 Hold infrastructure to account
Websites don't survive on their own. They depend on CDNs, hosts, registrars, and payment rails that can choose to cut them off.
Run the URL through ShadowStack and note which providers appear again and again on abusive sites.
Use that evidence to contact providers' abuse or trust & safety teams with clear, specific complaints.
Where possible, coordinate with NGOs, journalists, or legal advocates so that multiple reports arrive together.
Using the map
Turn an infrastructure map into a pressure campaign.
ShadowStack is built to generate actionable dossiers on the companies that keep abusive sites online. The goal is not just to know who they are, but to give advocates and regulators everything they need to demand change.
Map the site:Run the URL through our infrastructure checker. Export the graph and metadata (CSV/JSON) to capture the full stack: CDN, host, registrar, payment processor, analytics, and trackers.
Identify repeat enablers: Look for providers that appear on multiple abusive domains or provide both CDN and DNS to the same cluster.
Attach evidence: Include screenshots of the site (redacted where necessary), timestamps, geolocation (if relevant), and a short summary of the harm.
Send coordinated complaints: Use the template on the right to contact trust & safety / abuse teams at providers like Cloudflare, other CDNs, hosting companies, and payment processors.
Join the movement
No one tool can fix this. But together, we can move the infrastructure.
NCII and AI pornography sit at the intersection of gender‑based violence, privacy, and platform accountability. This project is designed to plug into that broader ecosystem, not replace it.
For NGOs & advocates
Use the mapping tool to build case files on repeat enablers. Attach exports to policy briefs, media stories, and regulator submissions.
For technologists & researchers
Contribute crawlers, enrichment plugins, or datasets. Help us improve detection of NCII clusters and measure which interventions actually work.
For funders & policymakers
Use infrastructure data to design targeted obligations: transparency from CDNs, abuse‑handling standards, and real penalties when providers repeatedly enable AI sexual abuse.
