Report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (Tensor.Art content on TikTok)
Files a formal complaint with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center documenting the AI generated NCII as a federal crime under 47 USC 223a and related statutes. TikTok typically responds to NCII notices in under 12 hours, which is among the fastest in the industry.
Time sensitivity matters for this action. Document evidence and file the report within 72 hours of discovery while the perpetrator's digital footprint remains intact and platform logs are still recoverable through subpoena.

Files a formal complaint with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center documenting the AI generated NCII as a federal crime under 47 USC 223a and related statutes. The IC3 routes complaints to FBI field offices for investigation. The content was generated by Tensor.Art, a model hosting service operating from China. TikTok typically responds to NCII notices in under 12 hours, which is among the fastest in the industry. Tensor.Art is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer.
Why this matters for Tensor.Art content on TikTok
- Browser based generation means harmful content can be created without local download of any model file, complicating evidence preservation and source attribution.
- TikTok's recommendation algorithm can drive a single video to millions of views inside 24 hours. Re uploads using the duet and stitch features create derivative content that requires separate notices.
- Tensor.Art content distributed through TikTok typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and cross platform redistribution.
- Source attribution to Tensor.Art 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
-
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 Tensor.Art fingerprint indicators including tensor. Full evidence package from the platform takedown including URLs and screenshots
-
02
Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Tensor.Art content distributed on TikTok 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 Tensor.Art variations.
-
03
File the IC3 complaint with full evidence File at ic3.gov with the complete evidence package. The complaint should specifically cite the Tensor.Art attribution and the TikTok distribution. Reference the China jurisdiction of the source service to support investigation routing.
-
04
Document the Tensor.Art source attribution Tensor.Art generated images include the model and prompt in metadata when downloaded through the platform interface. This attribution evidence is critical for the legal record and supports stronger statutory claims regardless of which specific action you pursue.
-
05
Coordinate with TikTok platform removal TikTok accepts NCII reports through its in app reporting flow and through its dedicated trust and safety email. The deepfake reporting category is processed in a separate queue and has the fastest turnaround.
-
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. 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
- 47 USC 223a as the underlying federal NCII statute
- 18 USC 875 for interstate threat communications when sextortion is involved
- TikTok is a covered platform under 47 USC 223a and operates under a National Security Agreement that includes content moderation commitments. Non compliance can be raised with CFIUS in addition to the FTC.
- Tensor.Art attribution: Chinese operator jurisdiction limits direct legal correspondence. Removal proceeds through the platform's published reporting form, which has variable response times.
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. Tensor.Art attribution does not weaken your claim, it strengthens the documentation of harm under the TAKE IT DOWN Act.
What if Tensor.Art cannot be reached for direct legal action?
Tensor.Art is currently operating without major regulatory restriction, which means removal action proceeds primarily against the distribution layer. Chinese operator jurisdiction limits direct legal correspondence. Removal proceeds through the platform's published reporting form, which has variable response times. The action you take here proceeds independently of any direct correspondence with the source generator.
How long will TikTok actually take to remove the content?
TikTok typically responds in approximately 8 hours when a properly formatted statutory notice is filed. ScanErase files the notice within 5 minutes of authorization and tracks compliance through your Verified Removal Package.
Will the report to FBI action reveal my identity to TikTok or the perpetrator?
FBI complaint reference number, potential field office contact, and documented federal record that supports any future criminal prosecution and supports victim compensation funds. 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.
