Why this matters for sports team deepfake on Kiwi Farms

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 team chat deepfakes available, and document any visible AI generator fingerprints including watermarks, edge blending artifacts, and skin texture inconsistencies. Complete screenshots of the team group chat content and member list
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms sports team deepfake content distributed on Kiwi Farms 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 search engine NCII removal requests File NCII removal requests at google.com/forms and bing.com/webmasters/tools/contentremoval. List every URL on Kiwi Farms and any other identified platforms. Search engines remove cached and thumbnail copies that persist for weeks after source removal.
  4. 04
    Notify the school Title IX office immediately Schools have independent legal obligations under Title IX and most state student safety statutes for deepfake incidents involving students. The school investigation is a separate parallel track to your personal removal action and may produce remedies that are not available through the platform process alone.
  5. 05
    Coordinate the Kiwi Farms platform removal pipeline Kiwi Farms does not honor takedown requests. Removal requires hosting provider termination, CDN termination, and registrar action. The site has been deplatformed by Cloudflare and multiple hosting providers in past actions.
  6. 06
    Escalate through hosting and CDN if required Kiwi Farms shifts hosting providers frequently. Track the current host through whois and hosting fingerprint tools and file abuse complaints for each new provider as the site migrates.
  7. 07
    File the complete evidence record for the legal track Google's voluntary NCII removal policy for both authentic and AI generated content 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

How does Title IX apply to AI generated deepfakes between students?

Title IX applies to AI generated NCII identically to authentic content. The school has independent obligations to investigate, to provide victim accommodations, and to impose disciplinary action against the perpetrator. The school investigation runs parallel to any law enforcement action and may produce remedies that law enforcement cannot.

How long will Kiwi Farms actually take to remove the deepfake content?

Kiwi Farms typically responds in approximately 720 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 Kiwi Farms after removal?

Kiwi Farms 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 Kiwi Farms 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.

I searched deepfakes of me are in my team group chat 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 exit the team group chat before evidence preservation. Membership in the chat is your strongest evidence preservation route because content can be deleted by other members after you leave. Once evidence is preserved, the Kiwi Farms takedown notice and the search deindex action can proceed in parallel.
