The combined situation

PornJourney is a subscription based explicit image generator that supports user upload of reference photographs for personalized output. It markets itself as a Midjourney style explicit alternative. When PornJourney output appears on Threads, 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

Reference photograph upload converts general purpose explicit generation into targeted NCII against identifiable individuals. On Threads specifically, threads cross posts to instagram which doubles distribution surface. the platform's connection to activitypub also means content can federate to mastodon instances and require additional notices.

How removal proceeds

Threads is operated by Meta and accepts NCII reports through Meta's NCII portal and through the in app reporting flow. Threads moderation is handled by the same Meta team that processes Instagram and Facebook reports. Source attribution to PornJourney is documented through pornjourney outputs display a characteristic painterly aesthetic with elongated proportions and a recognizable lighting style adapted from its base diffusion model, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
