The combined situation

Promptchan is a community oriented explicit image generator with a public gallery. The service publishes user generations as a feed which accelerates redistribution. When Promptchan output appears on Bing, 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

Public gallery distribution means Promptchan content reaches search engine indexes within days of generation. Search engine deindexing is essential alongside source removal. On Bing specifically, bing serves as the search backend for yahoo, duckduckgo, and chatgpt search. a single successful removal at bing propagates to multiple downstream search surfaces.

How removal proceeds

Bing accepts NCII removal requests through Microsoft's content removal form. Approved requests result in deindexing from Bing Search and Bing Images, and the same removal also applies to Yahoo Search. Source attribution to Promptchan is documented through promptchan outputs display the generation prompt and seed in metadata when downloaded directly from the platform, which provides definitive identification of the source service, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
