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 Google, 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 Google specifically, google search and google images are the discovery layer for nearly every ncii case. removing the underlying content does not always remove the cached version from google, and reverse image search can surface mirrors.

How removal proceeds

Google accepts NCII removal requests through its dedicated NCII removal form for Search and Images. Approved requests result in URL deindexing from Google Search results within 12 hours typically. 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.
