Notice & Take Down

Within the NTD function you can find the Notice & Take Down (NTD) messages that were sent and the ones which are waiting te be send.

Sending NTD's

There are a number of moments when SCARt starts a NTD:

  • after classify and when the hoster of illegal material is local (country)
  • after 24 hours when the illegal content is still online
  • when marked as POLICE in classify (ntd to police contact)

After "starting" a NTD, SCARt will group URL's for the same abuse contact until the hour-threshold is reached.

Default hour-thresholds:

  • FIRST NTD hoster; 1 hour
  • FIRST POLICE; 1 hour
  • SEND LEA; 1 hour
  • NEXT NTD hoster; 24 hour

Note: these thresholds can be set invidual for each SCARt environment.

Before actual sending a NTD, SCARt will last minute check for each attached URL whether the hoster is still the same. If not, the URL will be removed from the NTD.

NTD email template

NTD are send based on a NTD templatw which can be defined as a general template in Settings -> NTD template. Which NTD template is used for an abuse contact is set in Abusecontact under the NTD tab. On this tab also a specific subject and body text can be set.

Important in the text of the body is the tag-string "{{abuselinks}}". This tag will be replaced by the connected URLs.

The URLs cvan be included in the body text, the URLs can also be attached in a CSV attachment.
