The combined situation

Reface is the largest face swap mobile application by downloads, with hundreds of millions of installs. It is marketed for entertainment use but the technology is identical to that used in deepfake NCII production. When Reface output appears on Pornhub, 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

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. On Pornhub specifically, pornhub is among the most trafficked ncii destinations on the open web. mirror sites repost content within hours, so removal from pornhub alone is rarely sufficient without parallel removals from related domains.

How removal proceeds

Pornhub accepts NCII reports through its trusted flagger program and through its dedicated content removal form. Verified user uploads are tied to identity documents which supports subpoenas. Source attribution to Reface is documented through reface outputs display a characteristic logo watermark in the free tier and use a recognizable temporal smoothing algorithm in video output, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
