Deepfake revenge porn merges the harm of traditional NCII with the technical accessibility of generative AI. A perpetrator can create convincing intimate imagery of a victim using only public social media photos, then share it across adult platforms, messaging apps, and forums. Unlike traditional NCII, the victim may be unaware that intimate imagery of them exists until it is discovered. The rise in deepfake NCII cases underscores the need for discovery tools.
