Deepfakes created by a coworker on Bluesky

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 Bluesky 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

Bluesky's open ATProto network allows third party clients and appViews to display the same content. A removal from the official Bluesky app does not always remove from third party clients. 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

Bluesky accepts NCII reports through its in app moderation flow and through its trust and safety email. The PDS architecture means content is hosted on individual personal data servers in addition to the network appView. 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.
