Remove the content from the distribution platform (Civitai content on Bluesky)

Why this matters for Civitai content on Bluesky

• Civitai hosts thousands of LoRA models trained on identifiable individuals without their consent. Each removed model prevents future generation rather than addressing existing content.
• Bluesky's open ATProto network allows third party clients and appViews to display the same content. A removal from the official Bluesky app does not always remove from third party clients.
• Civitai content distributed through Bluesky typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to Civitai is critical for remove from platform because it establishes the AI generated nature of the content, which strengthens statutory claims under 47 USC 223a regardless of whether the depicted person ever existed in unaltered form.

• Section 230 does not insulate platforms from this specific obligation once a compliant notice is filed
• Bluesky crossed the covered platform threshold in 2025. The platform's open architecture means TAKE IT DOWN Act notices should be filed both with Bluesky and with any third party appView indexing the content.
• Civitai attribution: Civitai is a Delaware entity with a published trust and safety policy and an NCII reporting form. Direct policy reports for celebrity LoRAs and adapters trained on identifiable individuals have produced removals.
