Submit a perceptual hash to StopNCII.org for spurned suitor deepfake on Signal
A person who pursued a romantic relationship that you declined has created AI deepfake intimate imagery as a response to the rejection. Signal does not provide platform side content moderation, so removal proceeds against the sender or hosting infrastructure.
Tldr
A person who pursued a romantic relationship that you declined has created AI deepfake intimate imagery as a response to the rejection. This pattern frequently escalates to broader stalking conduct and warrants protective order consideration immediately. Signal is a messaging platform with approximately 70 million monthly users. Signal does not provide platform side content moderation, so removal proceeds against the sender or hosting infrastructure. Generates a perceptual hash of the deepfake content on your device and submits the hash, not the image itself, to a cross platform partner network including Meta, TikTok, Pornhub, and Bumble. Participating platforms then prevent any image matching the hash from being uploaded.
Why this matters for spurned suitor deepfake on Signal
- Obsessive romantic interest combined with the low technical barrier of modern AI tools creates a documented escalation path from social media monitoring to fabricated intimate content.
- Signal's zero metadata model is privacy protective for legitimate users but provides no platform side enforcement option for NCII victims. Content can be forwarded to other Signal users without trace.
- Revenge motivated deepfake distribution follows a documented escalation curve. The first 72 hours after creation typically determine whether the content reaches the wider re upload audience or stays contained to the original platform.
- Messaging platform distribution is harder to remove from the platform itself, but the closed audience produces evidence preservation advantages because group chat metadata is highly recoverable.
- Stalker pattern cases benefit from the breadth of conduct as evidence. Each contact attempt, each social media interaction, and the deepfake creation collectively support stalking statute prosecution. This is particularly relevant when the action you are pursuing is file the StopNCII hash, because after the initial platform removal is in progress. the hash submission provides ongoing prevention against re upload across the partner platform network.
How removal works
What to do, step by step
-
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
-
02
Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms spurned suitor deepfake content distributed on Signal 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.
-
03
Submit the perceptual hash to StopNCII.org Generate the perceptual hash on your own device using the StopNCII.org tool. Submit only the hash, not the image itself. The hash will be propagated to Signal and other StopNCII.org partner platforms within 48 hours, preventing identical re upload across the partner network.
-
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.
-
05
Coordinate the Signal platform removal pipeline Signal does not have content moderation tooling because of its end to end encryption and zero metadata architecture. Removal of content requires action against the sender directly.
-
06
Escalate through hosting and CDN if required Signal's architecture means there is no platform side enforcement. Action against the sender is the only available remedy. Police reports with the sender's phone number and law enforcement subpoenas are the practical path.
-
07
File the complete evidence record for the legal track StopNCII.org operates under the legal framework of the Revenge Porn Helpline (UK) 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
Legal context
- StopNCII.org operates under the legal framework of the Revenge Porn Helpline (UK)
- Participating platforms enforce hash matches under their own terms of service
- Signal cannot be compelled to remove content because it does not have access to it. The TAKE IT DOWN Act enforcement against Signal is therefore ineffective. The remedy is action against the sender under state NCII statutes.
- spurned suitor deepfake statutory basis: 18 USC 2261A federal cyberstalking statute, which covers the pattern of conduct in addition to any single act
- 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act for the deepfake content removal
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 Signal actually take to remove the deepfake content?
Signal does not have platform side moderation tools, so removal does not proceed through the platform itself. The remedy is action against the sender directly. ScanErase coordinates the parallel legal response that does produce removal in these cases.
Will the platform notify the perpetrator that I filed the takedown notice?
Most platforms provide some notification to the account that posted the content, but the notification typically does not identify you. Your name and contact information are not shared with the perpetrator. The notification is limited to the fact that content was removed under a statutory NCII notice.
What if the perpetrator re uploads the deepfake to Signal after removal?
Signal 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 file the StopNCII hash action reveal my identity to Signal or the perpetrator?
Permanent perceptual hash record across the StopNCII.org partner network. Future upload attempts of the matching deepfake to participating platforms are blocked at the upload stage. 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 Signal takedown notice and the file the StopNCII hash action can proceed in parallel.
