If intimate images or videos of you appear in Bing, including deepfakes, Microsoft can take them out of its results. It strengthened this process as the Take It Down Act came into force, and there are two routes worth using together.
What deindexing does
Removing a result from Bing takes the URL out of Bing’s search results. The page itself stays online wherever it is hosted. As with Google, deindexing is the fast way to stop people finding the content, and it works best run alongside getting the page removed at its source. Unlike a copyright request, this route does not depend on you owning the images. It is about consent.
Route 1: Report it to Microsoft
Report the content through Microsoft’s non-consensual intimate imagery removal form.
You report yourself, or as someone’s representative, and provide the links to the content. Once Microsoft reviews it and confirms it violates its NCII policy, it removes the links from Bing globally, and removes the content itself if it happens to be hosted on one of Microsoft’s own services. Keep your own list of every URL so you can report them all and recognize new copies later.
Route 2: Block matches with StopNCII
The second route is proactive. StopNCII.org, which Microsoft works with, lets you create a digital “fingerprint” (a hash) of your images. The clever part is that the image never leaves your device: only the hash is shared. Participating platforms, Bing among them, then use that hash to detect and block matching content, including copies you have not found yourself.
After you report
Microsoft removes confirmed NCII from Bing globally, and StopNCII keeps working in the background against new matches. Keep your list of URLs and report again when copies surface.
Deindexing is one engine at a time, so if the content also shows up on Google, file there as well. And search removal works best alongside getting the page taken down at its host: our Reddit and Telegram guides cover platform takedowns, and the explainer on the Take It Down Act covers what the law requires.
