How to Report AI-Generated Sexual Images

If an AI-generated sexual or intimate image falsely depicts you, report it promptly while preserving enough evidence to identify the account or website involved.

Step 1: Preserve evidence

Save screenshots, the exact URL, username, account details and date/time. Keep the original photograph if it was used in the manipulation.

Step 2: Report to the platform

Use the platform’s reporting tools for privacy violations, impersonation, harassment or unlawful sexual content, as appropriate.

Step 3: Report through the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal

The official portal provides “Other Cyber Crime” reporting for online and social-media crimes. It also has a “Report Suspect” facility for website URLs, phone numbers, email IDs, messaging handles and social-media URLs. citeturn0search6turn0search16
