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 Mexico

Ley Olimpia (federal reform of 2021 to the Código Penal Federal article 199 Octies and the General Law of Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence), plus state level implementations. From 3 to 6 years imprisonment plus fine of 500 to 1000 days minimum wage units under federal article 199 Octies. State penalties vary.

Mexico's Ley Olimpia, named for activist Olimpia Coral Melo, began as a Puebla state law in 2018 and became federal in 2021. All 32 Mexican states now criminalise digital violence including non consensual distribution of intimate content.

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 Ley Olimpia criminal complaint

    Report to local police or the national cybercrime unit. Frente Nacional para la Sororidad can assist.

  3. 3

    Submit an erasure request under Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares (rights of access, rectification, cancellation, opposition)

    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. INAI 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
