Deepfake Case Review

Request a deepfake case review.

Tell us what happened. If you or your child was the subject of non-consensual AI-generated intimate images, a case review may help clarify whether the situation fits a developing legal category, including claims connected to the TAKE IT DOWN Act, privacy and likeness law, and the pending litigation over AI image tools. David Meldofsky refers your request to participating law firms where a firm handles your category and state.

If you or someone you know is in crisis right now, please contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 (in the U.S.), or contact your local emergency services. This page is for case-review intake about past events and is not a crisis resource.

If this involves intimate images of a minor, you can report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org and to local law enforcement. Please do not attach, paste, upload, or forward any such images to this form or to anyone else — doing so can itself be unlawful. Describe the situation in words only.

Who This Page May Help

Situations people often research.

Non-consensual AI-generated intimate images, often called deepfakes, are the subject of a fast-growing body of law: the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, state intimate-image and likeness statutes, and pending lawsuits against AI image tools and the platforms where images spread. People who research a case review through this page often include:

  • Adults who were the subject of non-consensual sexual or intimate images generated by an AI tool
  • Parents or guardians of a minor who was the subject of non-consensual AI-generated images
  • People whose images were publicly spread and who had difficulty getting them removed, including after a platform missed the 48-hour removal window
  • People threatened with the creation or release of such images, including in extortion or sextortion attempts
  • People who experienced documented harm as a result, such as lost work, professional consequences, harassment, or emotional distress
  • Family members researching a claim on behalf of someone who cannot research it themselves
Submit Your Information

Deepfake case review form.

Start with the category that best fits, then briefly describe what happened. Contact information is requested so the firm David refers your request to can follow up.

If both a tool that generated the images and a platform that spread them were involved, choose the main one and add detail below. It is fine to select "Not sure."

When were the images created or discovered? Where did they spread? What removal steps, reports, or takedown requests have been made, and what happened?

Describe the situation in words only. Please do not include Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or full medical records. Do not attach, paste, upload, or forward any images, and never any image involving a minor — if intimate images of a minor are involved, report them to NCMEC's CyberTipline (report.cybertip.org) and law enforcement instead.

Approximate is fine. Timing matters because legal deadlines often run from the date a person knew or should have known of the connection to the alleged cause.

Records often matter in these cases. You do not need to gather anything to submit, and you should not collect or send any images — this is just so reviewers know the starting point.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act requires covered platforms to remove reported non-consensual intimate images within 48 hours. What happened after a removal request can matter to a review.

Your state helps identify whether location-specific deadlines, claim rules, or review options may apply.

Background on the Pending Cases

The deepfake litigation landscape.

Legal pressure over non-consensual AI-generated images is building on several fronts. The federal TAKE IT DOWN Act criminalizes publishing non-consensual intimate images, including AI-generated ones, and requires covered platforms to remove reported images within 48 hours. Private lawsuits against xAI over images generated by Grok include individual claims and proposed class actions, pleaded under privacy, likeness, and platform-responsibility theories. State attorneys general, a bipartisan 35-state coalition, and the City of Baltimore have also acted.

Most of these cases are at an early stage, and few have been resolved on the merits. Key contested issues include whether an AI image tool is a creator or an intermediary, how platform-liability frameworks apply when the tool itself generates the material, and how the TAKE IT DOWN Act's removal duty is enforced. The answers will shape what is and is not a viable claim.

Important Disclosures

Read this before submitting.

Lawsuit Center is the intake and referral practice of David Meldofsky, a California attorney, and provides no legal advice through this site. Submitting information creates no attorney-client relationship. It does not guarantee that you qualify for a claim, that compensation will be available, or that any law firm will offer representation.

AI liability is a developing area of law. The legal theories being advanced in the pending cases have not yet been resolved by appellate courts. Outcomes are unpredictable, and a viable-looking case under current pleadings may not survive a motion to dismiss or a later substantive ruling.

Some pages may include attorney advertising, sponsored listings, paid law firm visibility, or referral-related opportunities. Sponsored visibility is advertising and should not be treated as a recommendation or endorsement of any attorney or law firm.

Legal deadlines for these claims can vary by state and can be short. If you believe you may have a claim, consider speaking with a licensed attorney as soon as possible.
