Deepfakes discovered by employer or coworkers on Bluesky

The combined situation

AI deepfake intimate imagery of you has been discovered by your employer, your coworkers, or your professional network. Immediate written notification to HR with documentation of legal action underway is essential to preserve employment protections under Title VII and state employment law. When this scenario plays out on Bluesky specifically, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with the scenario specific response that workplace cases require.

Why this combination is high risk

Bluesky's open ATProto network allows third party clients and appViews to display the same content. A removal from the official Bluesky app does not always remove from third party clients. For workplace discovery deepfake cases, cross platform spread of ncii content reaches professional networks within days. the same content that begins on a fringe platform routinely surfaces in linkedin searches, professional google searches, and direct circulation by adversaries within weeks.

How removal proceeds

Bluesky accepts NCII reports through its in app moderation flow and through its trust and safety email. The PDS architecture means content is hosted on individual personal data servers in addition to the network appView. Documented victim status combined with active legal removal action produces strong protective standing under both Title VII and most state employment statutes.
