Why this matters for dating app rejection 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 rejection retaliation deepfakes available, and document any visible AI generator fingerprints including watermarks, edge blending artifacts, and skin texture inconsistencies. The dating app conversation history with the rejected user, including any final messages indicating their reaction
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms dating app rejection 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
    File the IC3 complaint with full evidence File at ic3.gov with the complete evidence package. The complaint should specifically cite the AI generated nature of the content, the Erome distribution, and the revenge pattern. Reference any communications from the perpetrator and any prior incidents.
  4. 04
    Preserve identification metadata for subpoena Even anonymous accounts produce identifiable metadata through Erome. Account creation IP, device fingerprint, and posting history support law enforcement subpoena to identify the perpetrator. Doe defendant filings preserve civil claims while identification proceeds.
  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 as the underlying federal NCII statute 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

What if the perpetrator was previously in a consensual relationship with me?

A prior consensual relationship is not a defense to AI generated NCII production or distribution. Consent to a relationship is not consent to AI deepfake creation, and the TAKE IT DOWN Act explicitly removes consent at creation as a defense for the distribution of deepfake content.

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.

What does the FBI actually do after I file an IC3 complaint?

IC3 complaints are routed to the relevant FBI field office and to specialized cybercrime units. Most complaints produce documentary investigation rather than immediate field action, but the federal record supports any future criminal prosecution and supports victim compensation under the Crime Victims Fund.

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 report to FBI action reveal my identity to Erome or the perpetrator?

FBI complaint reference number, potential field office contact, documented federal record that supports any future criminal prosecution and supports victim compensation funds. 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 a match made deepfakes of me after i rejected him 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 delete the dating app conversation history before law enforcement can preserve it. The dating app retains records but the in app history is the most easily authenticated evidence. Once evidence is preserved, the Erome takedown notice and the report to FBI action can proceed in parallel.
