Students at the school where you teach have created AI deepfake intimate imagery of you, typically using publicly available faculty photographs, social media, or yearbook images. This conduct violates Title IX in both directions and warrants immediate union and administrative engagement. Patreon is a creator economy platform with approximately 8 million monthly users. Patreon typically responds to NCII notices within the statutory 48 hour window. Captures and preserves all deepfake content in a forensically sound manner that supports both criminal prosecution and civil litigation. Evidence preservation must occur before any takedown action because removed content cannot always be recovered.
Why this matters for teacher target deepfake on Patreon
- Faculty photographs are typically required to be publicly accessible through the school directory, which makes them trivially available as AI generator input.
- Patreon's paywall model limits casual sharing but creator accounts can be compromised and used to post unauthorized content. Adult tier creators have particular exposure to leak and impersonation risks.
- School community deepfake incidents spread through dense overlapping group chats faster than any other category. Parallel notification to the school administration and the platform is essential because the educational environment harm is independent of the platform removal timeline.
- Creator platform distribution often weaponizes the platform's own monetization features, which provides additional terms of service grounds for action against the perpetrator account.
- Faculty deepfake cases benefit from union representation, contractual employment protections, and the school's strong incentive to demonstrate decisive disciplinary response. This is particularly relevant when the action you are pursuing is preserve the evidence, because first action in nearly every case. evidence preservation must precede platform notices, law enforcement reports, and any communication with the perpetrator.

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 Patreon actually take to remove the deepfake content?
Patreon typically responds in approximately 36 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 Patreon after removal?
Patreon 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 preserve the evidence action reveal my identity to Patreon or the perpetrator?
Complete forensic record of the deepfake content with chain of custody documentation that supports admissibility in both criminal and civil proceedings. 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 students made deepfakes of me and found this guide. What is the very first thing I should do right now?
