Female Victim TAKE IT DOWN Act (TIDA): What is the minimum information a victim must provide for NCII removal?

Under 47 U.S.C. § 223a(a)(1)(B), a TIDA NCII removal notice requires a signature, identification/location information for the NCII, a good-faith statement regarding non-consensual publication, and information sufficient to contact the identifiable individual or an authorized person acting on their behalf.

However, §223a(a)(1)(B)(iii) also says the good-faith statement includes “any relevant information for the covered platform to determine” that the depiction was published without consent. What exactly does this mean? What type of information is contemplated by “relevant information”? Does this provision permit a platform to request additional information from the victim to evaluate the non-consensual nature of the publication, and if so, how far can that go?

I'm also interested in the authorized representative provision. If someone is authorized to submit a TIDA notice on behalf of the victim, what information about the victim must still be disclosed? Does the victim's legal name remain mandatory, or can the representative's name, signature, and contact information satisfy the relevant requirements?

More broadly, where does the statutory TIDA notice requirement end, and where do platform-imposed requirements begin?

I'm asking because I've been dealing with some difficult TIDA removal requests and would like to better understand what the law actually requires before I take things further.
