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 Discord actually take to remove the deepfake content?
Discord typically responds in approximately 20 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.
How long does Google typically take to deindex deepfake URLs?
Google NCII removal requests typically process within 5 to 14 days for compliant submissions. Bing follows a similar timeline. The deindex action removes the URL from search results but does not affect the source platform, which is why parallel platform takedown is essential.
What if the perpetrator re uploads the deepfake to Discord after removal?
Discord 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 search deindex action reveal my identity to Discord or the perpetrator?
Removal of the deepfake URLs from Google and Bing search results, prevention of further indexing of cached or thumbnail copies, reduced search visibility of the content even where source platform removal is delayed. 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.
