You may want to set up an email address specifically for image takedown requests. You need to send a separate request to each website, so it can be time-consuming, and requires monitoring. It requires you to give your real name (this might be why Banksy doesn’t sue for copyright infringement). This is generally quite successful, but it does have a few downsides. Sending takedown notices is free, and most websites have a copyright request form somewhere on their site. In that case, you own the copyright and can ask a website to remove the image, as it is infringing your copyright. There is a legal workaround if you took the image yourself. Some survivors of abuse have taken legal action to stop the distribution of an image, but this is expensive and time consuming. Many websites where images are shared are hosted outside of the UK, meaning they’re not covered by UK laws (or courts). Websites aren’t generally held responsible for content uploaded by users, even when sharing the content is illegal.
