Enforcement / takedown is the process of notifying the website owner and specific hosting provider of the malicious webpage. Typically the webpage would be compromised – hacked – and malicious content installed. Enforcement means that a registered consumer or organization submits a URL (webpage) for removal / takedown to the hosting provider by clicking on the button “Initiate Abuse Reporting Process”. Reportphish validates the URL is malicious and allows the notification to be initiated. Enforcement or takedown  is simply a reporting notification sent to the hosting provider’s “Report Abuse” process that requests a review of a specific URL. There are no legal implications that are created with the consumer or organization that initiates the notification process. Hosting providers have Terms of Use that specifically state what is NOT acceptable content and gives them broad discretion for taking action.  Content that is NOT acceptable include the following : Anything illegal, or promotes or encourages illegal activity; Promotes, encourages or engages in the exploitation of children, or any activity related to the proliferation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM); Promotes, encourages or engages in terrorism, violence against people, animals, or property; Promotes, encourages or engages in any spam or other unsolicited bulk email, or computer or network hacking; Infringes on the intellectual property rights of another User or any other person or entity; Violates the privacy or publicity rights of another User or any other person or entity, or breaches any duty of confidentiality that you owe to another User or any other person or entity; Contains or installs any viruses, worms, bugs, Trojan horses or other code, files or programs designed to, or capable of, disrupting, damaging or limiting the functionality of any software or hardware;
