Why this happens

AI undressing apps require only a single clothed photograph and produce results in under 60 seconds at near zero cost. Any public photo on social media can be the source.

Most AI undressing apps watermark their output, which provides forensic evidence of the specific app used. This evidence supports both removal and legal action against the operator.

Legal framework in Israel

Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law 5758-1998, amendment 2014 adding subsection 3(a)(5A) on publication of sexual photographs, films or recordings. Up to 5 years imprisonment for the publication offence (treated as a felony).

Israel's 2014 amendment classified non consensual publication of sexual imagery as a form of sexual harassment carrying felony grade penalties. This treatment as sexual harassment rather than a privacy offence carries significant civil consequences in addition to criminal exposure.

Evidence to preserve

Do not: Do not engage with anyone offering to remove the AI generated content for a fee. This is a common follow on scam targeting recent NCII victims.

Five step removal process

  1. 1

    Preserve all evidence first

    Full page screenshot of every URL where the content appears. Any visible watermarks or metadata indicating the AI app used.

  2. 2

    File the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law 5758-1998 criminal complaint

    Report to local police or the national cybercrime unit. 105 Online Safety Hotline can assist.

  3. 3

    Submit an erasure request under Protection of Privacy Law 5741-1981 right to erasure

    Each major platform has a designated data protection contact. The request must cite the legal basis and identify the URLs. The platform has 30 days to respond. PPA accepts complaints for non compliance.

  4. 4

    Run a biometric scan to find every additional copy

    Content posted to one platform is rarely confined to one platform. ScanErase identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including mirror copies and AI generated variants.

  5. 5

    File TAKE IT DOWN Act notices for covered platforms

    Use your scan report to file the federal 48 hour notice yourself, in parallel with your domestic rights. The two regimes are cumulative, not exclusive.

Statutory citations to include in your complaint
