The big idea
Free AI tools have made it trivial for someone to fake a humiliating photo, voice clip, or message and aim it at you. The legal system is catching up fast, and so are platform policies — but only if you know how to document and report. The worst response is silence; the best is calm, fast, evidence-based action.
Some examples
- Screenshot everything before blocking — you may need it for reports.
- Most platforms now have specific 'synthetic non-consensual imagery' report categories.
- Take It Down (StopNCII) and similar services can hash and remove fake nudes of minors across platforms.
- Telling one trusted adult is not snitching — it's strategy.
