Report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (PornJourney content on DuckDuckGo)

Why this matters for PornJourney content on DuckDuckGo

• Reference photograph upload converts general purpose explicit generation into targeted NCII against identifiable individuals.
• DuckDuckGo is below the covered platform threshold but its results carry weight with privacy conscious users including journalists and researchers. Removing the result from DuckDuckGo eliminates that audience surface.
• PornJourney content distributed through DuckDuckGo typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to PornJourney is critical for report to FBI 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.

3. 03
   File the IC3 complaint with full evidence File at ic3.gov with the complete evidence package. The complaint should specifically cite the PornJourney attribution and the DuckDuckGo distribution. Reference the unknown jurisdiction of the source service to support investigation routing.

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 DuckDuckGo platform removal DuckDuckGo serves search results powered primarily by Bing. NCII removal at Bing automatically removes the result from DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo also accepts direct removal requests at help.duckduckgo.com.
6. 06

Legal context

• 47 USC 223a as the underlying federal NCII statute
• 18 USC 875 for interstate threat communications when sextortion is involved
• DuckDuckGo's reliance on Bing means that Bing NCII removal is the most efficient lever. Direct DuckDuckGo requests are rarely necessary but can be filed in parallel.
• PornJourney attribution: Subscription billing through Stripe and PayPal provides payment processor escalation as the most effective lever. Both processors have removed similar services after consolidated complaints.
