The combined situation

Candy AI is marketed as an AI companion application but provides explicit image generation through a paid tier. It is one of the highest traffic AI companion services. When Candy AI output appears on Baidu, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with source attribution to strengthen the legal claim.

Why this combination is high risk

Candy AI accepts user uploaded reference images for character creation. This creates a direct NCII generation vector against any identifiable subject. On Baidu specifically, baidu indexes content from chinese platforms that are otherwise inaccessible to western search. ncii content originating in or mirrored to chinese forums is frequently discoverable only through baidu.

How removal proceeds

Baidu accepts removal requests through its dedicated complaints portal in Mandarin. Baidu Tieba and Baidu Image Search require separate filings. Source attribution to Candy AI is documented through candy ai outputs display a distinct character consistency that maintains face structure across multiple generations of the same character, which is achieved through a per character model fingerprint, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
