Deepfakes created by a coworker on 4chan

The combined situation

A current or former coworker has created AI deepfake intimate imagery using your professional photographs from LinkedIn, the company website, or work events. Title VII workplace harassment obligations apply immediately upon employer notification. When this scenario plays out on 4chan specifically, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with the scenario specific response that workplace cases require.

Why this combination is high risk

4chan boards including /b/ and /soc/ have historically been primary distribution points for NCII. Threads expire quickly but content is preserved in third party archives that mirror entire boards. For coworker deepfake cases, professional photographs that are required for work purposes including linkedin and company directories are precisely the high quality face shots that ai nudify and face swap tools use as input.

How removal proceeds

4chan threads expire automatically. Active removal requires emailing dmca@4chan.org with the thread URL. Archive sites such as warosu and archive.4plebs require separate filings. Title VII obligations create strong incentives for the employer to take swift action including the employer's parallel investigation, no contact arrangements, and termination authority.
