Report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (SeaArt content on Reddit)

Why this matters for SeaArt content on Reddit

• Massive scale combined with limited regulatory reach makes SeaArt one of the highest volume NCII generation sources currently operating.
• Subreddits operate as semi public communities with low moderation latency. Once a thread surfaces in a default feed it can reach millions of impressions inside an hour, and reposting across subreddits is trivial.
• SeaArt content distributed through Reddit typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to SeaArt is critical for report to FBI 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.

How AI generator removal works

What to do, step by step

1. 01

Full evidence package from the platform takedown including URLs and screenshots
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms SeaArt content distributed on Reddit rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including additional SeaArt variations.
3. 03
   File the IC3 complaint with full evidence File at ic3.gov with the complete evidence package. The complaint should specifically cite the SeaArt attribution and the Reddit distribution. Reference the China jurisdiction of the source service to support investigation routing.
4. 04
   Document the SeaArt source attribution SeaArt outputs include service metadata and use a custom upscaler that produces a recognizable detail enhancement signature. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
5. 05
   Coordinate with Reddit platform removal Reddit accepts statutory takedown notices through its dedicated non consensual intimate imagery form and through its DMCA agent. Both routes trigger Reddit's safety review pipeline.
6. 06
   File the complete evidence record for the legal track 47 USC 223a as the underlying federal NCII statute provides the foundational legal basis for this action.

Legal context

• 47 USC 223a as the underlying federal NCII statute
• 18 USC 875 for interstate threat communications when sextortion is involved
• Reddit is a covered platform under 47 USC 223a. Reddit's Section 230 protections do not insulate it from the 48 hour removal obligation under the TAKE IT DOWN Act once a compliant notice is filed.
• SeaArt attribution: Chinese operator jurisdiction limits direct legal correspondence. App store policy reports and platform redistribution removal under 47 USC 223a are operative levers.
