Takedown Requests

How to generate a takedown request.

If you want to make a takedown request for a file: example_file.10f

then you will need to execute the following steps:

10f --takedown-generate example_file

This will generat two files:

example_file.address

example_file.takedown

In the example_file.address file you will find all the IP addresses who serve the data for example_file.10f

You will need to contact the owners of those IP addresses and send them the second file; example_file.takedown

They can now comply with the takedown request by executing the takedown file on their sysytem, and the data will be deleted.

If you recieve a takedown request, it is quite easy to comply:

Lets say that the file example_file.takedown has been sent to you with a request for takedown.

To comply, you just need to execute it:

10f --takedown-execute example_file.takedown

This will remove the data served by example_file.10f

To verify that the file has actually been removed, you can use:

10f --takedown-verify example_file.takedown
