Why this matters for Candy AI content on Instagram

How AI generator removal works

How ScanErase finds AI generated imagery: trace the generator, identify the app and every host, then file your own removal request.

What to do, step by step

  1. 01
    Preserve evidence before any other action Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, save the highest resolution copy of the content available, and document the Candy AI fingerprint indicators including 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. Local copy of the original content or a high quality copy retrieved before removal
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Candy AI content distributed on Instagram rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including additional Candy AI variations.
  3. 03
    Submit the perceptual hash to StopNCII.org Generate the perceptual hash on your own device using the StopNCII.org tool. Submit only the hash, not the image itself. The hash will be propagated to Instagram and other StopNCII.org partner platforms within 48 hours.
  4. 04
    Document the Candy AI source attribution 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. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
  5. 05
    Coordinate with Instagram platform removal Instagram accepts NCII reports through Meta's dedicated NCII reporting portal and through its in app report flow. Meta processes NCII reports through a separate accelerated queue.
  6. 06
    File the complete evidence record for the legal track StopNCII.org operates under the legal framework of the Revenge Porn Helpline (UK) provides the foundational legal basis for this action. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.

Legal context

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter that the image was AI generated and not a real photograph of me?

47 USC 223a explicitly covers AI generated and digitally altered intimate imagery alongside authentic content. Candy AI attribution does not weaken your claim, it strengthens the documentation of harm under the TAKE IT DOWN Act.

What if Candy AI cannot be reached for direct legal action?

Candy AI is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer. The companion app framing means Candy AI is distributed through Apple App Store and Google Play Store. App store policy reports for explicit content distribution bypass direct operator engagement. The action you take here proceeds independently of any direct correspondence with the source generator.

How long will Instagram actually take to remove the content?

Instagram typically responds in approximately 6 hours when a properly formatted statutory notice is filed. ScanErase files the notice within 5 minutes of authorization and tracks compliance through your Verified Removal Package.

Will the file Stop NCII hash action reveal my identity to Instagram or the perpetrator?

Permanent perceptual hash record across the StopNCII.org partner network. Future upload attempts of the same image to participating platforms are blocked at the upload stage. The disclosure scope is limited to what the action requires. Your scan and removal process is not disclosed to employers, family, or any third parties beyond the recipients required by the specific legal procedure.
