Tldr
Files a statutory takedown notice against the platform that is currently hosting the content. The platform is required to remove the content within 48 hours under 47 USC 223a, regardless of where the content was originally generated. The content was generated by Reface, a face swap service operating from Ukraine (operator) / Delaware (entity). OnlyFans typically responds to NCII notices in under 24 hours. Reface is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer.
Why this matters for Reface content on OnlyFans
- Reface is broadly considered a low risk service due to active content moderation, but its model architecture has been replicated in higher risk derivative services.
- OnlyFans content is paywalled which limits casual sharing, but leaks to mirror sites and Telegram channels are common. Stolen creator credentials can also be used to post unauthorized content under the creator's profile.
- Reface content distributed through OnlyFans typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
- Source attribution to Reface is critical for remove from platform 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.
