How to remove a deepfake of yourself
What to do in the first 24 hours, how to report AI-generated fakes on each platform, special tools for intimate images and when to take legal action.
A deepfake places your face or voice into content you never made, from fake investment ads to harassment.
First 24 hours
Save links, screen recordings and the accounts sharing it. Do not forward it. If you have a public profile, post a short statement that the content is fake.
Report on each platform
YouTube privacy complaints cover AI-altered content that uses your face or voice; Meta, TikTok and X have synthetic and manipulated media policies and impersonation reports; fake ads go through ad reporting. For intimate images, hash-based tools let platforms block copies without you sharing the images.
Legal action
Deepfakes can breach personality, data protection and criminal laws, and several countries now criminalise sharing intimate deepfakes. Take this step with a lawyer.
Prevent the next one
Verify your official accounts, monitor your name and brand, and set a second-channel check for payment requests in your team.
