The combined situation

Your current spouse or romantic partner has discovered AI deepfake intimate imagery of you. The legal status of the imagery is unchanged and your full TAKE IT DOWN Act rights remain available regardless of the discovery context. When this scenario plays out on Yandex specifically, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with the scenario specific response that discovery cases require.

Why this combination is high risk

Yandex Images has historically had weaker filtering than Google or Bing, and surfaces results that are deindexed elsewhere. This makes Yandex a critical second pass for any NCII removal effort. For spouse discovered deepfake cases, cross platform ncii spread reaches household networks through google search results, social media circulation, and occasional deliberate adversarial delivery to the spouse.

How removal proceeds

Yandex accepts removal requests through its abuse contact at copyright@yandex-team.ru. Yandex Images is particularly important because it indexes adult content that Google and Bing exclude. Documentation of victim status with active legal removal action provides the strongest possible evidence to your spouse that the situation is being handled with full legal protections.
