The combined situation

NovelAI is a paid image generation service that originated as a text generation platform. The image generator supports explicit output and was an early target of leaked model weight redistribution. When NovelAI output appears on Pornhub, 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

The 2022 NovelAI weight leak created a long tail of derivative models that continue to produce explicit content using the original training characteristics. On Pornhub specifically, pornhub is among the most trafficked ncii destinations on the open web. mirror sites repost content within hours, so removal from pornhub alone is rarely sufficient without parallel removals from related domains.

How removal proceeds

Pornhub accepts NCII reports through its trusted flagger program and through its dedicated content removal form. Verified user uploads are tied to identity documents which supports subpoenas. Source attribution to NovelAI is documented through novelai uses a custom finetuned model with a recognizable rendering style, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
