Tldr
Open source face swap tools have been used to place your face onto pornographic content involving someone else's body. The TAKE IT DOWN Act covers face swap content as synthetic NCII. XVideos is a adult content platform with approximately 300 million monthly users. XVideos typically responds to NCII notices within the statutory 48 hour window. Removal from XVideos typically requires both statutory notice and escalation through hosting and payment processor channels.
Why this happens on XVideos
- XVideos has limited automated moderation compared to Pornhub. NCII content frequently remains live for longer periods, and re uploads under different titles are common.
- Face swap tools require only a clear facial photograph and produce convincing video output in under an hour on consumer hardware. Public LinkedIn and Instagram photos are routinely used as source material.
- Face swap content is frequently distributed through dedicated deepfake forums and Telegram channels before reaching mainstream porn sites. Early discovery through biometric scanning prevents wider distribution.
- Cross platform spread is the rule, not the exception. Content first appearing on XVideos typically reaches between four and twelve additional platforms within 72 hours through reposts, mirrors, and screenshot redistribution.
The takedown process
What to do, step by step
-
01
Document every instance before reporting Capture full page screenshots with the URL bar visible, the posting account handle, and the upload timestamp. Full page screenshot of every URL where the face swap content appears
-
02
Run a biometric scan to find every copy across platforms Content first appearing on XVideos rarely stays there. ScanErase indexes 2.4 billion face embeddings across 200 plus platforms and identifies every current hosting location in a single scan, including AI generated derivatives.
-
03
Dispatch the takedown notice to XVideos XVideos accepts NCII reports through its content removal form and through its DMCA agent. The platform requires the removal request to include the video URL and the basis for the takedown.
-
04
Capture the AI tool fingerprint for the legal record Most AI generated NCII contains visible artifacts or watermarks indicating the specific tool used. Capture this evidence alongside the content itself. The AI tool operator may be a separate defendant in addition to the distributor.
-
05
Escalate through hosting and CDN if required XVideos is hosted by WebGroup Czech Republic AS. Hosting provider escalation goes through WebGroup's abuse contact and through Czech data protection authority complaints under GDPR.
-
06
File a police report and preserve the legal record 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act covering synthetic and AI generated NCII provides the federal basis for the takedown. Document every notice sent, every platform response, and every removal confirmation in a single evidence file. ScanErase produces this Verified Removal Package automatically as your case progresses.
Legal context
- XVideos is incorporated in the Czech Republic and is subject to GDPR Article 17 right to erasure. EU based victims have a statutory right to removal independent of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, with parallel filing accelerating response.
- 47 USC 223a TAKE IT DOWN Act covering synthetic and AI generated NCII
- Right of publicity claims for unauthorized commercial use of likeness
- Capture the video URL, the uploader username, and the video tags. XVideos has historically been slower to retain hash signatures, so re uploads must be reported separately as new instances.
Frequently asked questions
How long will XVideos actually take to remove the content?
XVideos typically responds in approximately 34 hours when a properly formatted statutory notice is filed. ScanErase files the notice within 5 minutes of authorization and tracks compliance through your Verified Removal Package.
What if the perpetrator re uploads the content after removal?
XVideos retains hash signatures of removed NCII content which prevents identical re uploads to the same platform. A follow-up ScanErase scan checks for re uploads across all 200 plus indexed platforms, so you can file a new notice as soon as matches reappear.
I searched my face on porn deepfake and found this guide. Will using ScanErase reveal my identity to XVideos or anyone else?
ScanErase processes all data confidentially. Notices to XVideos contain only the information required by 47 USC 223a, which does not include details beyond the affected URLs and your verified identity. Your scan and removal process is not disclosed to employers, family, or any third parties.
