Deepfakes of a teacher created by students on Yandex

The combined situation

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. 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 school 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 teacher target deepfake cases, faculty photographs are typically required to be publicly accessible through the school directory, which makes them trivially available as ai generator input.

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. Faculty deepfake cases benefit from union representation, contractual employment protections, and the school's strong incentive to demonstrate decisive disciplinary response.
