Notify your employer with documentation of legal action underway (SoulGen content on Mastodon)

Why this matters for SoulGen content on Mastodon

• 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.
• 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.
• SoulGen content distributed through Mastodon typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
• Source attribution to SoulGen is critical for employer notification 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
   Preserve evidence before any other action Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, save the highest resolution copy of the content available, and document the SoulGen fingerprint indicators including 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. Letter or evidence package documenting the legal action underway
2. 02
   Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms SoulGen content distributed on Mastodon 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 SoulGen variations.
3. 03
   Provide the documented notification to the employer Provide a written notification to the employer documenting that you are the subject of AI generated NCII produced by SoulGen and currently circulating on Mastodon. Include the legal action underway and request that the employer take no adverse action while removal proceeds.
4. 04
   Document the SoulGen source attribution 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. 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 Mastodon platform removal Mastodon is federated across thousands of independent instances. Removal requires identifying the specific instance hosting the content and contacting that instance's admin directly.
6. 06
   File the complete evidence record for the legal track Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for workplace sexual harassment when distribution affects work environment provides the foundational legal basis for this action. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.

Legal context

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for workplace sexual harassment when distribution affects work environment
• State employment protection statutes covering off duty conduct
• Most Mastodon instance admins comply quickly with NCII reports. The Mastodon Server Covenant explicitly prohibits NCII content, which gives leverage even with instances outside US jurisdiction.
• SoulGen attribution: Hong Kong operator jurisdiction makes direct civil action complex, but Apple App Store and Google Play Store policy violation reports have produced removal of the SoulGen mobile app in multiple regions.
