For platforms and developers
Drop-in 2257 compliance,
by API.
Integrate the Partner API and Easy2257 becomes the Custodian of Records for your creators' content. Your platform never touches an ID. One call to onboard a creator, a webhook when they are verified, one call to log each upload.
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.
