I figured this is the right community to ask, since I assume you must know the legal stuff surrounding your passion. I am a EU citizen, if that matters.

One of sites archiving other sites (one of which I used), among other things archived photos of myself. When I stopped using the site I was using, I deleted my account, including all the media, so it’s gone from the site I was using, but not from the site which archives it. The site archiving it never responded to my messages pleading to have my stuff taken down. Can I report them to some kind of an authority?

The admin of the site offers to take down some content if you pay them, which basically amounts to them holding you hostage in a way and blackmailing you. I’d call it a revenge porn, but it doesn’t contain the revenge part and I don’t even know these people.

I will appreciate no rude comments.

    Assuming they’re in the EU as well. If not, they probably don’t care at all.
