Save the evidence first
Before you report anything, take screenshots that show the image, the web address, the account that posted it, and the date. Copy the links somewhere safe. Do not forward or repost the image yourself, even to show someone; links and screenshots are enough. This page is general information, not legal advice.
Ask the site to take it down
Most sites and apps have a form for reporting intimate images shared without consent. In the US, the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act requires covered online platforms to offer a removal process and to take down intimate images, including realistic AI-made ones, within 48 hours of a valid request. A request generally needs your signature, where the image is, a statement that you did not consent, and a way to contact you.
If it was made or delivered through Gedighant, use the public takedown form. You do not need an account, and you get a case number to check its status.
Stop it from spreading
- If the image shows you at 18 or older: StopNCII.org accepts synthetic or fake intimate images and creates a digital fingerprint on your device without uploading the image. It works with participating platforms; check its eligibility rules before starting.
- If you were under 18 in the image: Take It Down, run by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, is for images taken when you were under 18. It works on public or unencrypted participating platforms. NCMEC says victims of AI-generated explicit images may use Take It Down. Its eligibility guidance is for intimate images of you from when you were under 18, and the image or video must already be on your device; check the details before starting. Use only an image already on your device; do not download, forward, or share it to submit.
- Search results: Google explains how to request removal of personal sexual images, including fake AI-generated images, from Google Search. Search-result removal does not remove the image from the site hosting it, so report it to that site too.
Get support and know your options
Publishing intimate AI images of an identifiable adult without consent, when it is meant to cause harm or does cause harm, is a federal crime in the US, with some exceptions, and many states have their own deepfake laws. You can report it to local police, and a lawyer can tell you whether you have a claim. The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative Safety Center offers step-by-step support resources for people targeted this way. You do not have to handle it alone.
How Gedighant tries to prevent this
Gedighant only works with a photo of yourself or of an adult partner who agreed. Every account confirms that every real person pictured consented to an explicit AI version, uploads and results are screened for prohibited content, and celebrities, public figures and anyone under 18 are never allowed.
