Deepfake Intimate Images on Facebook

Facebook, operated by Meta, is one of the world's largest social platforms. Deepfake intimate content on Facebook can appear in private messages, groups, and public posts. Meta's network structure means a single scan can find your face across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger content. ScanErase leverages Meta's content hash-matching infrastructure (PhotoDNA) for effective discovery of exposure.

How deepfakes appear on Facebook

Deepfake intimate content on Facebook is typically distributed through private groups, Messenger conversations, and public posts targeting the victim's social network. Perpetrators often share content directly with the victim's friends, family, or employer contacts. Facebook's real-name policy means perpetrators are sometimes identifiable through their accounts.

Meta's network discovery

Scanning for your face on Facebook triggers a search across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. With ScanErase, you can uncover exposure across all Meta platforms simultaneously.

Identifying perpetrators through Facebook

When deepfake content is posted to a Facebook account, the account may be identifiable through Facebook's real-name requirements. ScanErase's discovery report can support a law enforcement subpoena request or civil inquiry.
