Remove AI impersonations of you

Not every misuse of your likeness is an explicit deepfake — a fake profile built with your photos to catfish someone, a scam ad using your face to endorse a product you've never heard of, or an AI-cloned voice reading a script you never recorded are all forms of the same underlying problem: your identity, generated or repurposed by someone else, circulating in a context you never agreed to and often can't see until someone tells you about it.

Why this needs broader monitoring than a single-platform report

A fake profile or a scam ad rarely stays confined to one platform — the same stolen photos get reused across social platforms, dating apps, and ad networks by different operators running the same playbook. Reporting one instance through a platform's own impersonation form doesn't stop the next one from appearing somewhere else using the same source photos. Continuous monitoring across platforms, rather than a single reactive report, is what actually keeps pace with this.

How detection works without a tip-off

Because you often don't know an impersonation exists until someone else stumbles across it, detection runs proactively: a facial reference built from photos and videos you control is matched continuously against public profiles, ad creatives, and generated content across the internet, surfacing impersonation cases the same way it surfaces a leaked photo or a deepfake video.

Filing the right response for each case

Not every impersonation case is a legal takedown in the same sense as a deepfake — a fake dating profile is usually handled through a platform's own impersonation-reporting policy, while an AI-generated intimate fabrication using your likeness is filed under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, and a genuine leak repackaged into a scam ad is filed as DMCA. See our guide to the TAKE IT DOWN Act for how that specific classification works — the right response depends on correctly identifying what kind of misuse actually occurred.

Cutting off visibility while a report is pending

Platform impersonation reports can take longer to process than a statutory takedown notice. Where an impersonating profile or ad lands on an indexed page, de-indexing requests are filed with search engines in parallel, so it stops surfacing in search results while the underlying report is still pending.
