Why this matters for SoulGen content on Signal

How AI generator removal works

How ScanErase finds AI generated imagery: trace the generator, identify the app and every host, then file your own removal request.

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. Documentation of the content, the perpetrator if known, and the school connection
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms SoulGen content distributed on Signal 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
    File the formal report with the institution File a written report with the school's Title IX office or equivalent administrator. The report should cite the SoulGen attribution, the Signal circulation, and any documented impact on the educational environment. Title IX requires school investigation regardless of whether law enforcement is involved.
  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 Signal platform removal Signal does not have content moderation tooling because of its end to end encryption and zero metadata architecture. Removal of content requires action against the sender directly.
  6. 06
    File the complete evidence record for the legal track Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded institutions 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

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter that the image was AI generated and not a real photograph of me?

47 USC 223a explicitly covers AI generated and digitally altered intimate imagery alongside authentic content. SoulGen attribution does not weaken your claim, it strengthens the documentation of harm under the TAKE IT DOWN Act.

What if SoulGen cannot be reached for direct legal action?

SoulGen is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer. 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. The action you take here proceeds independently of any direct correspondence with the source generator.

How long will Signal actually take to remove the content?

Signal does not have platform side moderation tools, so removal does not proceed through the platform itself. The remedy is action against the sender directly. ScanErase coordinates the parallel legal response that does produce removal in these cases.

Will the school report action reveal my identity to Signal or the perpetrator?

School disciplinary action against the perpetrator, accommodations and protections for the victim, documented school record that supports civil claims, and policy improvements that prevent future incidents. The disclosure scope is limited to what the action requires. Your scan and removal process is not disclosed to employers, family, or any third parties beyond the recipients required by the specific legal procedure.
