Why this matters for spurned suitor deepfake on MrDeepFakes

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 obsession driven deepfakes available, and document any visible AI generator fingerprints including watermarks, edge blending artifacts, and skin texture inconsistencies. All communications from the perpetrator including unwanted advances, gifts, and attempts to contact you
  2. 02
    Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms spurned suitor deepfake content distributed on MrDeepFakes 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
    Complete the AI tool source identification Document the AI tool fingerprints visible in the obsession driven deepfakes. Compare against your authentic source photographs that may have been used as input. This documentation supports authentication under Federal Rules of Evidence 901 and strengthens every parallel removal track.
  4. 04
    File a supplemental stalking report referencing the deepfake escalation Active stalking combined with AI deepfake production satisfies the federal cyberstalking statute on its face. File a supplemental report with any prior investigating agency and notify the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center within 24 hours.
  5. 05
    Coordinate the MrDeepFakes platform removal pipeline MrDeepFakes accepts DMCA notices through its abuse contact. The platform's compliance is inconsistent and removal frequently requires escalation to its hosting provider and Cloudflare.
  6. 06
    Escalate through hosting and CDN if required MrDeepFakes uses Cloudflare for its CDN. The fastest path to removal is a Cloudflare abuse complaint for hosting NCII deepfake content, which has resulted in CDN service termination in past cases.
  7. 07
    File the complete evidence record for the legal track Federal Rules of Evidence 901 for authentication of AI generated digital evidence 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 MrDeepFakes actually take to remove the deepfake content?

MrDeepFakes typically responds in approximately 96 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 if the deepfake content is removed before I can complete the evidence preservation?

Even removed content typically remains recoverable through Internet Archive captures, search engine cached copies, and witness reproduction. The platform itself retains records that are recoverable through subpoena. Document everything you can about the URL, posting account, and timing even if the content itself is no longer accessible.

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

MrDeepFakes 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 identify the source action reveal my identity to MrDeepFakes or the perpetrator?

Documented attribution of the deepfake content to a specific AI tool and source photograph set. This supports every parallel removal track and any civil action against the source operator. 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 someone obsessed with me made deepfakes 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 respond to the perpetrator under any circumstances. Engagement reinforces the obsessive attention pattern and may produce additional content as a perceived reward. Once evidence is preserved, the MrDeepFakes takedown notice and the identify the source action can proceed in parallel.
