Remove SoulGen content from Mastodon

The combined situation

SoulGen markets itself as a companion image generator but offers explicit output through prompt engineering and a paid tier that removes content filters. It has a polished user interface that masks the underlying nudify capability. When SoulGen output appears on Mastodon, 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

SoulGen accepts uploaded reference photographs which can be used to generate explicit content of identifiable individuals. This is the primary NCII vector for the service. On Mastodon specifically, federated content spreads across multiple instances through reposts and replies. removing from the originating instance does not remove from the cached copies on every instance that federated the post.

How removal proceeds

Mastodon is federated across thousands of independent instances. Removal requires identifying the specific instance hosting the content and contacting that instance's admin directly. Source attribution to SoulGen is documented through soulgen outputs display a distinct anime adjacent rendering style even in photorealistic mode, with characteristic eye highlighting and a smooth skin tone gradient that does not match natural photography, which strengthens the takedown notice and supports parallel legal action.
