The combined situation

DeepNude was the original 2019 nudify application that established the category. It was shut down by its developer after public outcry, but the model weights were leaked and now power dozens of clone services. When DeepNude output appears on Tumblr, 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

DeepNude derivative services proliferate under different names but produce visually identifiable output. Hash matching against known DeepNude derivative samples accelerates platform removal under 47 USC 223a. On Tumblr specifically, 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.

How removal proceeds

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. Source attribution to DeepNude is documented through deepnude outputs and direct derivatives display a characteristic 512x512 base resolution upscaled to higher dimensions, producing a recognizable softness in fine detail, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
