The combined situation

DeepFaceLab is the most widely used open source deepfake training framework. It powers the majority of high quality deepfake NCII produced since 2020. When DeepFaceLab output appears on Bing, 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

DeepFaceLab requires technical skill to operate but produces the highest quality output of any current face swap technology. It is the source of most professional grade celebrity deepfake NCII. On Bing specifically, bing serves as the search backend for yahoo, duckduckgo, and chatgpt search. a single successful removal at bing propagates to multiple downstream search surfaces.

How removal proceeds

Bing accepts NCII removal requests through Microsoft's content removal form. Approved requests result in deindexing from Bing Search and Bing Images, and the same removal also applies to Yahoo Search. Source attribution to DeepFaceLab is documented through deepfacelab output quality varies by training time and source material, but high quality models produce indistinguishable face swap output, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
