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). xHamster typically responds to NCII notices within the statutory 48 hour window. 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 xHamster
- Russian development origin places significant data privacy concerns on FaceApp use, particularly around the licensing terms for uploaded photographs.
- xHamster's community section allows comments and reposts that can amplify NCII content even after the original video is removed. Community profiles can also serve as redistribution hubs.
- FaceApp content distributed through xHamster 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

Letter or evidence package documenting the legal action underway

02

-
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 xHamster. 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 xHamster platform removal xHamster accepts NCII reports through its content removal portal and processes them through its trust and safety team. The platform requires identification of the content with URL, timestamp, and the basis for removal.
-
06

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.

xHamster typically responds in approximately 32 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.
