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 xHamster, 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 xHamster specifically, xhamster's community section allows comments and reposts that can amplify ncii content even after the original video is removed. community profiles can also serve as redistribution hubs.

How removal proceeds

xHamster accepts NCII reports through its content removal portal and processes them through its trust and safety team. The platform requires identification of the content with URL, timestamp, and the basis for removal. 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.
