If the deepfake of you is on a social media, you may be able to get it removed. Most networks have community guidelines covering how people can behave on their site.
This may include the misuse of deepfakes. If someone breaks these rules, it could mean their accounts are suspended or permanently deleted.
You can report any deepfakes that breach guidelines directly to the social media platform.
Find out how to report to the most popular social media platforms and what will happen next.
