Report to school administration or Title IX office (NovelAI content on Tumblr)

Why this matters for NovelAI content on Tumblr

• The 2022 NovelAI weight leak created a long tail of derivative models that continue to produce explicit content using the original training characteristics.
• Tumblr reblogs create persistent copies of content across hundreds of unrelated blogs. A single original post can have thousands of reblogs, each requiring a separate URL in the takedown notice.
• NovelAI content distributed through Tumblr typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to NovelAI is critical for school report 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

What to do, step by step

1. 01
   Preserve evidence before any other action Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, save the highest resolution copy of the content available, and document the NovelAI fingerprint indicators including novelai uses a custom finetuned model with a recognizable rendering style. Documentation of the content, the perpetrator if known, and the school connection
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms NovelAI content distributed on Tumblr rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including additional NovelAI variations.
3. 03
   File the formal report with the institution File a written report with the school's Title IX office or equivalent administrator. The report should cite the NovelAI attribution, the Tumblr circulation, and any documented impact on the educational environment. Title IX requires school investigation regardless of whether law enforcement is involved.
4. 04
   Document the NovelAI source attribution NovelAI uses a custom finetuned model with a recognizable rendering style. Leaked NovelAI weights are detectable through specific output characteristics that persist across derivatives. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
5. 05
   Coordinate with Tumblr platform removal Tumblr accepts NCII reports through its content removal form and through its DMCA agent. The platform's 2018 adult content ban remains in effect, which means NCII reports also benefit from policy enforcement against any sexual content.
6. 06
   File the complete evidence record for the legal track Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded institutions provides the foundational legal basis for this action. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.

Legal context

• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded institutions
• State student safety statutes requiring school investigation of student NCII incidents
• Tumblr is owned by Automattic and has historically been responsive to NCII reports. The combination of the adult content ban policy and the TAKE IT DOWN Act gives multiple grounds for removal of any reblog chain.
• NovelAI attribution: United States operator jurisdiction supports direct correspondence. The leaked weights are open distributed beyond NovelAI's control.
