Finding deepfake intimate content effectively requires simultaneous action across multiple channels. Using discovery tools offers a means to identify matches, while reporting to law enforcement, engaging support organizations, and addressing non-compliant platforms are all important components of a comprehensive response.

Finding on platforms: ScanErase

The fastest way to find matches is through discovery tools. ScanErase checks across 200+ platforms for every match identified.

Law enforcement reporting

FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, accepts NCII and sextortion reports. Local police, file a criminal report under state NCII law. FBI Tips at tips.fbi.gov, for organized crime groups and severe cases. NCMEC CyberTipline at missingkids.org, mandatory for content involving minors.

Support organizations

Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI) at cybercivilrights.org, victim resources and referrals. RAINN at rainn.org, support for sexual violence including NCII. National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, for partner-based NCII.

Regulatory reporting

FTC at ftc.gov, report platforms that fail to comply with reporting guidelines. State attorneys general, many accept NCII complaints and pursue platform action. EEOC at eeoc.gov, for workplace deepfake situations.
