Tldr
Provides documented notification to the employer that the victim is the subject of AI generated NCII and is actively pursuing legal removal. The notification protects employment status and triggers Title VII protections where applicable. The content was generated by FaceApp, a face swap service operating from Russia (development) / United States (entity). Bing typically responds to NCII notices in under 24 hours. FaceApp is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer.
Why this matters for FaceApp content on Bing
- Russian development origin places significant data privacy concerns on FaceApp use, particularly around the licensing terms for uploaded photographs.
- Bing serves as the search backend for Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and ChatGPT Search. A single successful removal at Bing propagates to multiple downstream search surfaces.
- FaceApp content distributed through Bing typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
- Source attribution to FaceApp is critical for employer notification 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
-
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 FaceApp fingerprint indicators including faceapp outputs use a recognizable filter aesthetic and do not produce explicit content. Letter or evidence package documenting the legal action underway
-
02
Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms FaceApp content distributed on Bing 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 FaceApp variations.
-
03
Provide the documented notification to the employer Provide a written notification to the employer documenting that you are the subject of AI generated NCII produced by FaceApp and currently circulating on Bing. Include the legal action underway and request that the employer take no adverse action while removal proceeds.
-
04
Document the FaceApp source attribution FaceApp outputs use a recognizable filter aesthetic and do not produce explicit content. FaceApp output appearing in NCII context indicates secondary processing through another tool. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
-
05
Coordinate with Bing platform removal 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.
-
06
File the complete evidence record for the legal track Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for workplace sexual harassment when distribution affects work environment 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 VII of the Civil Rights Act for workplace sexual harassment when distribution affects work environment
- State employment protection statutes covering off duty conduct
- Microsoft's NCII compliance is among the most consistent of any major platform. Bing removal also influences ChatGPT Search visibility because ChatGPT Search is powered by the Bing index.
- FaceApp attribution: FaceApp itself is rarely the source of NCII. Removal of FaceApp output that appears in harmful context typically targets the secondary tool that added the explicit modification.
Frequently asked questions
Does it matter that the image was AI generated and not a real photograph of me?
47 USC 223a explicitly covers AI generated and digitally altered intimate imagery alongside authentic content. FaceApp attribution does not weaken your claim, it strengthens the documentation of harm under the TAKE IT DOWN Act.
What if FaceApp cannot be reached for direct legal action?
FaceApp is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer. FaceApp itself is rarely the source of NCII. Removal of FaceApp output that appears in harmful context typically targets the secondary tool that added the explicit modification. The action you take here proceeds independently of any direct correspondence with the source generator.
How long will Bing actually take to remove the content?
Bing typically responds in approximately 16 hours when a properly formatted statutory notice is filed. ScanErase files the notice within 5 minutes of authorization and tracks compliance through your Verified Removal Package.
Will the employer notification action reveal my identity to Bing or the perpetrator?
Documented employer notification protecting against discriminatory adverse action, formal employer response, and where applicable employer participation in the removal effort through workplace policy enforcement. The disclosure scope is limited to what the action requires. Your scan and removal process is not disclosed to employers, family, or any third parties beyond the recipients required by the specific legal procedure.
