The combined situation

FaceMagic is a mobile first face swap application available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The free tier supports unlimited swaps with a watermark. When FaceMagic output appears on Baidu, 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

FaceMagic's mobile distribution makes it accessible to minors without age verification beyond the standard app store rating. On Baidu specifically, baidu indexes content from chinese platforms that are otherwise inaccessible to western search. ncii content originating in or mirrored to chinese forums is frequently discoverable only through baidu.

How removal proceeds

Baidu accepts removal requests through its dedicated complaints portal in Mandarin. Baidu Tieba and Baidu Image Search require separate filings. Source attribution to FaceMagic is documented through facemagic outputs include an embedded watermark in the free tier and a characteristic skin tone harmonization that adjusts the swapped face to match the source body skin tone, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
