For UGC Platforms

Compliance-as-a-service
in one API integration.

If your platform hosts user-uploaded adult content, federal law treats you as a secondary producer. You also carry Mastercard AN 5196, Visa VIRP, and TAKE IT DOWN Act exposure. Easy2257's Partner API hands all of it off — ID verification, cross-reference indexing, monthly acquirer reports, takedown SLAs, federal inspection response — through a single integration that takes about a day.

~15 minute integration.

What you're actually on the hook for

UGC platforms in the adult space don't get a pass on these. They each impose distinct obligations directly on you, separate from your users' producer obligations.

18 U.S.C. § 2257 secondary producer

28 CFR 75.1(c)(2) — any platform that publishes, reproduces, or manages explicit UGC may be a secondary producer with its own ID record-keeping obligation. Penalty: up to 5 years imprisonment.

Mastercard AN 5196

Adult Content Merchants must collect documented written performer consent and maintain a depicted-person removal appeals process. Failure triggers acquirer review.

Visa VIRP

Tier-1 Adult Merchants must submit a monthly compliance report to their acquirer (nil reports too) covering removal SLAs, signed releases, and verifications.

TAKE IT DOWN Act (2025)

Federal NCII removal mandate: 48-hour SLA for taking down reported content. Easy2257 monitors and alerts on breach so you don't blow the deadline.

Easy2257 covers all four — by API, in one integration.

What you stop doing

Storing government IDs (Easy2257 holds them — you store an account ID)
Responding to federal inspection requests (forward law enforcement to Easy2257)
Generating monthly acquirer reports (we generate per-producer, automatically)
Building a removal portal (we host it at easy2257.com/report/removal)
Tracking 48h / 72h / 7bd takedown SLAs (we track and alert)
Maintaining a 7-year retention guard (enforced at our DB layer)
Verifying performer ID + face match (handled on our infrastructure)
Building cross-reference indices (auto-generated as content is logged)

The integration is four endpoints

About 15 minutes of work for a competent backend engineer. Full code in the quickstart.

1POST/v1/solo-accounts

Provision a verification request when a creator first wants to upload. Get back an onboarding URL — redirect them top-level (camera access).

2Webhooksolo_account.verified

Fires when ID verification + payment both complete. Gate upload access on this signal — never before.

3POST/v1/solo-accounts/{id}/content

Log every upload. Send your internal externalContentId for idempotency + addressable takedowns.

4DELETE/v1/solo-accounts/{id}/content/{externalContentId}

On takedown. Fires content_log.deleted webhook to mirror across any partner platform that has the content logged.

Hand off compliance.
