1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring digital images, comprising:
- providing, by a host device, a user with access to a digital image stored at a storage server of an image farm in association with an image service, the user accessing the digital image via a communication application of a client device of the user;
receiving, by the host device over an information delivery network from the client device of the user, a notification associated with the digital image from the user, the notification indicating that the user believes that the digital image violates a policy of the image service;
responsive to receiving the notification, automatically generating an investigation report including information about an owner of the digital image within the image service; and
based on the investigation report, preventing the owner'"'"'s account within the image account from sharing the digital image with the user who provided the notification regarding the digital image by;
accessing an owner'"'"'s screen name and an identifier associated with the digital image;
searching an image table associated with the owner'"'"'s account, the owner'"'"'s account including metadata stored in one or more account tables distributed over the image farm; and
