    Help! Someone shared a photo of me without my consent! – Tip Sheet

    1. You can start by asking the person who shared it to take it down or stop sharing it. Kids report that this works more often than not!
    2. Ask the service or platform where it was shared to take it down. If you’re under 18, they may be required by law to take it down, and most also have a policy of taking down any photos that were shared without the subject’s permission.
