Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To 

Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission has 

accepted, subject to final approval, a 

consent order applicable to respondent 

Craig Brittain. 

The proposed consent order has been 

placed on the public record for thirty 

(30) days for receipt of comments by 

interested persons. Comments received 

during this period will become part of 

the public record. After thirty (30) days, 

the Commission will again review the 

agreement and the comments received, 

and will decide whether it should 

withdraw from the agreement and take 

appropriate action or make final the 

agreement’s proposed order. 

From November 2011 to April 2013, 

Respondent owned and operated the 

Web site www.isanybodydown.com, on 

which he posted personal information 

and photographs of individuals with 

their intimate parts exposed. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 25 / Friday, February 6, 2015 / Notices 6715 

Respondent used three different 

methods to obtain photographs for 

posting on the Web site. First, he 

requested that submitters send him 

nude photographs of other people along 

with personal information about the 

subject of each photograph, including 

the subject’s first and last name, city, 

state, phone number, and link to their 

Facebook profile. Second, Respondent 

obtained photographs by posing as a 

woman on the Craigslist advertising 

Web site and, after sending women 

photographs purportedly of himself, 

solicited photographs of them with their 

intimate parts exposed in return. When 

they did provide such photographs, 

Respondent posted them on his Web 

site without their permission. Third, 

Respondent instituted a ‘‘bounty 

system’’ on the Web site, whereby 

anyone could request that others find 

and post photos of a specific person in 

exchange for a reward of at least $100. 

Respondent posted the photographs and 

personal information he obtained 

without the permission of the subject of 

each photograph. In some instances, he 

added other personal information about 

the subjects based on his own research. 

In total, Respondent posted photographs 

and accompanying personal information 

of more than 1,000 people, the vast 

majority of whom were women. 

Respondent also advertised content 

removal services called ‘‘Takedown 

Hammer’’ and ‘‘Takedown Lawyer,’’ 

which promised to remove consumers’ 

content from the Web site for a 

substantial sum of money. In fact, 

Respondent himself owned these 

services, thereby attempting to obtain 

money to remove the same photographs 

that he had posted. 

The Commission’s complaint alleges 

two violations of the FTC Act. Count I 

alleges that Respondent unfairly 

disseminated photographs of 

individuals with their intimate parts 

exposed, along with personal 

information about them, for commercial 

gain and without the knowledge or 

consent of those depicted, despite the 

fact that he knew or should have known 

that the individuals had a reasonable 

expectation their image would not be 

disseminated in that manner. Count II 

alleges that Respondent deceptively 

solicited photographs from individuals 

of themselves with their intimate parts 

exposed by misrepresenting that he 

would use such photographs solely for 

his personal private use. 

The proposed order contains 

provisions designed to prevent 

Respondent from engaging in the future 

in practices similar to those alleged in 

the complaint. Part I prohibits 

Respondent from disseminating, 

through a Web site or online service, a 

video or photograph of an individual 

with his or her intimate parts exposed 

without: (1) Disclosing to the individual 

that he will disseminate the image 

through a Web site and for commercial 

gain; and (2) obtaining affirmative 

express consent in writing from the 

individual for such dissemination. 

Part II of the proposed order prohibits 

Respondent from, in connection with 

offering for sale any good or service, 

misrepresenting: (1) His collection, use, 

disclosure, or deletion of personal 

information; (2) his identity; or (3) the 

identity of those providing content or 

sponsoring advertising on a Web site. 

Part III of the proposed order prohibits 

Respondent from disclosing or 

benefitting from the images and 

personal information he obtained in 

connection with his Web site. Further, 

it requires him to destroy such images 

and personal information within 30 

days of entry of the order. 

Parts IV through VIII of the proposed 

order are reporting and compliance 

provisions. Part IV requires Respondent 

to retain documents relating to his 

compliance with the order for five years. 

Part V requires dissemination of the 

order to all current and future 

employees, agents, and representatives 

having responsibilities relating to the 

subject matter of the order. Part VI 

ensures notification to the FTC of 

changes in Respondent’s business or 

employment. Part VII mandates that 

Respondent submit a compliance report 

to the FTC within 60 days, and 

periodically thereafter as requested. Part 

VIII is a provision ‘‘sunsetting’’ the 

order after 20 years, with certain 

exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order. It is not intended to 

constitute an official interpretation of 

the proposed complaint or order or to 

modify the order’s terms in any way. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.
