Fort Worth, Texas — Eagle Venture Fund is proud to announce a new investment in Protect Privacy AI, a technology company building tools to detect, remove, and help prevent image-based sexual abuse and exploitative imagery online.

The investment comes at a pivotal moment.

This week, the Take It Down Act officially went into federal enforcement, requiring social media platforms to remove non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated deepfake abuse, within 48 hours of a valid request or face significant penalties.

At the same time this new federal framework took effect, Protect Privacy AI publicly launched its platform designed to help survivors exercise these new rights while helping platforms navigate a rapidly changing compliance environment.

For the first time, survivors of image-based sexual abuse now have a federally protected right to removal.

Protect Privacy AI is helping make that right usable.

The Problem Protect Privacy AI Is Solving

The internet is entering a new era of accountability.

For years, survivors of image-based sexual abuse have carried the burden themselves:

  • searching for their own abuse online
  • navigating fragmented reporting systems
  • submitting takedown requests platform by platform
  • and waiting, often helplessly, for action.

At the same time, AI-generated exploitation and deepfake abuse have dramatically accelerated the scale of the problem.

What was once a difficult moderation issue is quickly becoming a massive operational and infrastructure challenge for platforms, governments, and families alike.

Platforms are now under increasing pressure to:

  • verify reports quickly
  • remove exploitative content rapidly
  • prevent harmful re-uploads
  • and comply with new federal requirements under strict legal timelines.

The need is no longer theoretical. It is operational.

The Protect Privacy AI Solution

Protect Privacy AI is building infrastructure designed to help survivors, platforms, and regulators navigate this new digital safety environment.

Its platform is designed to:

  • help survivors submit takedown requests for non-consensual imagery
  • support escalation pathways when platforms fail to comply
  • identify exploitative content across the web
  • and help prevent harmful re-uploads.

The company is also developing image-scanning capabilities designed to help locate non-consensual imagery online - addressing one of the biggest challenges survivors face: not knowing where their abuse exists on the internet.

Where traditional systems have been fragmented, reactive, and platform-dependent, Protect Privacy AI is building scalable infrastructure for a new era of enforceable accountability.

As Dawn Hawkins, Founder & CEO of Protect Privacy AI, stated:

“The Take It Down Act gives survivors a right to removal. Our job is to help them use it.”

  • rapid takedown workflows
  • identity verification
