Why this matters for supervisor deepfake on Bing

How removal works

The four step deepfake removal process under the TAKE IT DOWN Act of 2026.

What to do, step by step

  1. 01
    Forensically preserve every instance before any other action Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, save the highest resolution copy of the subordinate created deepfakes available, and document any visible AI generator fingerprints including watermarks, edge blending artifacts, and skin texture inconsistencies. Documentation of the management relationship, performance issues, or termination context
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms supervisor deepfake content distributed on Bing 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 mirror copies and AI generated variants.
  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 currently circulating on Bing. Include the legal action underway and request that the employer take no adverse action while removal proceeds.
  4. 04
    Notify HR with documentation of legal action already underway Bring the documented removal notices to the HR conversation. Title VII obligations require the employer to investigate workplace sexual harassment including the creation and distribution of AI generated NCII by employees.
  5. 05
    Coordinate the Bing platform removal pipeline Bing accepts NCII removal requests through Microsoft's content removal form. Approved requests result in deindexing from Bing Search and Bing Images, and the same removal also applies to Yahoo Search.
  6. 06
    Notify Google and Bing for search deindexing Search engine deindexing runs in parallel to platform removal. Even after the original is removed, search engines retain cached thumbnails and snippets for weeks. File NCII removal requests with both Google and Bing alongside the platform notice.
  7. 07
    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.

Statutory 48 hour removal timeline: 47 USC 223a requires platforms to remove non-consensual intimate imagery within 48 hours of a valid notice.

Legal context

Frequently asked questions

Can my employer fire me because of deepfake content created without my consent?

Title VII protections against adverse action arising from victim status apply when the employer is on notice of your victim status. Provide written notification to HR with documented legal action underway as soon as you learn the content has reached the workplace.

How long will Bing actually take to remove the deepfake content?

Bing typically responds in approximately 16 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.

What if the institution refuses to act on my complaint?

Institutional non response is itself documented evidence that supports civil claims and federal complaint escalation. Title IX non compliance produces Department of Education enforcement options, and Title VII non response supports EEOC charges that may lead to right to sue letters.

What if the perpetrator re uploads the deepfake to Bing after removal?

Bing retains hash signatures of removed NCII content which prevents identical re uploads to the same platform. A follow-up ScanErase scan checks for re uploads across all 200 plus indexed platforms, including AI generated variant versions, so you can file a new notice as soon as matches reappear.

Will the employer notification action reveal my identity to Bing or the perpetrator?

Documented employer notification protecting against discriminatory adverse action, formal employer response, employer participation in the removal effort through workplace policy enforcement where applicable. 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.

I searched an employee made deepfakes of me and found this guide. What is the very first thing I should do right now?

Before any other action, forensically preserve the evidence with full page screenshots and the highest resolution file copies you can obtain. Do not engage the subordinate directly through any channel. Communication must be exclusively through HR, counsel, and law enforcement. Once evidence is preserved, the Bing takedown notice and the employer notification action can proceed in parallel.
