Realistic fakes count.
If someone made or altered an intimate image of you with AI or editing software, you can still get help. The TAKE IT DOWN Act covers realistic fakes, and many platforms ban fake sexual images under their own rules.
What the law covers
The law calls these "digital forgeries": intimate images of an identifiable person made or altered with software, AI, or other technology that a reasonable person couldn't tell apart from a real one. That includes real photos that were edited, as well as images generated from scratch.
Not every fake qualifies. Obvious cartoons or clearly artificial images may fall outside the federal law. Report them anyway: platforms like Reddit and Google cover fabricated sexual images more broadly.
How to ask for removal
Use the same TAKE IT DOWN request as for real images. In the template, choose "realistically and falsely depicts" and explain briefly that you never consented to it.
Copyright usually won't help
Your face or likeness isn't copyrighted. A DMCA notice only works if the fake copies a photo or video you own. Stick with the TAKE IT DOWN Act and platform rules.
Blocking re-uploads
