Report to school administration or Title IX office (Civitai content on Tumblr)

Why this matters for Civitai content on Tumblr

• Civitai hosts thousands of LoRA models trained on identifiable individuals without their consent. Each removed model prevents future generation rather than addressing existing content.
• Tumblr reblogs create persistent copies of content across hundreds of unrelated blogs. A single original post can have thousands of reblogs, each requiring a separate URL in the takedown notice.
• Civitai content distributed through Tumblr 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 school report 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.

How AI generator removal works

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 Civitai fingerprint indicators including civitai itself does not generate images, but hosts the model files used by other tools. Documentation of the content, the perpetrator if known, and the school connection
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Civitai content distributed on Tumblr 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 Civitai variations.
3. 03
   File the formal report with the institution File a written report with the school's Title IX office or equivalent administrator. The report should cite the Civitai attribution, the Tumblr circulation, and any documented impact on the educational environment. Title IX requires school investigation regardless of whether law enforcement is involved.
4. 04
   Document the Civitai source attribution Civitai itself does not generate images, but hosts the model files used by other tools. Civitai model identification appears in metadata of images generated using a downloaded Civitai model. 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 Tumblr platform removal Tumblr accepts NCII reports through its content removal form and through its DMCA agent. The platform's 2018 adult content ban remains in effect, which means NCII reports also benefit from policy enforcement against any sexual content.
6. 06
   File the complete evidence record for the legal track Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded institutions 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

• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded institutions
• State student safety statutes requiring school investigation of student NCII incidents
• Tumblr is owned by Automattic and has historically been responsive to NCII reports. The combination of the adult content ban policy and the TAKE IT DOWN Act gives multiple grounds for removal of any reblog chain.
• 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.
