Tldr
Files a statutory takedown notice against the platform that is currently hosting the content. The platform is required to remove the content within 48 hours under 47 USC 223a, regardless of where the content was originally generated. The content was generated by DeepFaceLab, a face swap service operating from GitHub distribution. XVideos typically responds to NCII notices within the statutory 48 hour window. DeepFaceLab is distributed as open source software, which prevents action against the framework itself. Action proceeds against the specific operator who deployed the model and the platform that distributes the harmful output.
Why this matters for DeepFaceLab content on XVideos
- 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.
- XVideos has limited automated moderation compared to Pornhub. NCII content frequently remains live for longer periods, and re uploads under different titles are common.
- DeepFaceLab content distributed through XVideos typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
- Source attribution to DeepFaceLab 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.
