Remove ClothOff content from Threads

The combined situation

ClothOff is a single purpose nudify service that takes a clothed photograph and returns a nude reconstruction. It has been the subject of formal complaints by Spanish, French, and Italian regulators since 2023. When ClothOff output appears on Threads, 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

ClothOff has been linked to multiple school harassment cases involving minors in Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The service has no age verification and outputs are routinely shared on Telegram and Discord. On Threads specifically, threads cross posts to instagram which doubles distribution surface. the platform's connection to activitypub also means content can federate to mastodon instances and require additional notices.

How removal proceeds

Threads is operated by Meta and accepts NCII reports through Meta's NCII portal and through the in app reporting flow. Threads moderation is handled by the same Meta team that processes Instagram and Facebook reports. Source attribution to ClothOff is documented through clothoff outputs typically display a soft skin gradient transition along the original clothing edge, slight asymmetry in nipple placement, and a faint moire pattern in the lower abdomen, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
