File a civil lawsuit for damages (FaceMagic content on TikTok)

Why this matters for FaceMagic content on TikTok

• FaceMagic's mobile distribution makes it accessible to minors without age verification beyond the standard app store rating.
• TikTok's recommendation algorithm can drive a single video to millions of views inside 24 hours. Re uploads using the duet and stitch features create derivative content that requires separate notices.
• FaceMagic content distributed through TikTok typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to FaceMagic is critical for civil lawsuit 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.
