Why this matters for coworker deepfake on Erome

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 coworker created deepfakes available, and document any visible AI generator fingerprints including watermarks, edge blending artifacts, and skin texture inconsistencies. All deepfake content with URL preservation
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms coworker deepfake content distributed on Erome 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
    Dispatch the takedown notice to Erome Erome accepts removal notices at abuse@erome.com and through its DMCA contact. The platform processes notices manually and requires the album URL plus identification of the affected images.
  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 Erome platform removal pipeline Erome accepts removal notices at abuse@erome.com and through its DMCA contact. The platform processes notices manually and requires the album URL plus identification of the affected images.
  6. 06
    Escalate through hosting and CDN if required Erome is hosted on bullet proof providers in Eastern Europe. Hosting provider escalation is generally ineffective. Faster removal typically comes from Cloudflare abuse reports for the CDN layer.
  7. 07
    File the complete evidence record for the legal track 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for the 48 hour platform removal obligation 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.

The 48 hour statutory deadline

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 Erome actually take to remove the deepfake content?

Erome typically responds in approximately 48 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.

Will the platform notify the perpetrator that I filed the takedown notice?

Most platforms provide some notification to the account that posted the content, but the notification typically does not identify you. Your name and contact information are not shared with the perpetrator. The notification is limited to the fact that content was removed under a statutory NCII notice.

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

Erome 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 file the takedown notice action reveal my identity to Erome or the perpetrator?

The specific deepfake URLs are removed within 48 hours. The platform retains a hash signature that prevents identical re upload to the same platform. 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 my coworker is making 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 confront the coworker directly or discuss the matter with other coworkers. The matter must proceed through HR with documentation and through your own counsel to preserve employment protections. Once evidence is preserved, the Erome takedown notice and the file the takedown notice action can proceed in parallel.
