Community Guidelines

Last Updated: December 26, 2025

Defakes.com is a platform for Truth, Verification, and Forensic Analysis. Our mission is to provide tools to distinguish reality from AI manipulation.

To keep this platform safe, accurate, and trustworthy, we enforce strict rules. These apply to everyone—casual players, investigators, and creators.

1. Integrity & Authenticity

We prohibit attempts to manipulate our technology, distort the truth, or weaponize our tools.

What is Not Allowed:

System Probing & Adversarial Attacks ("Red Teaming"): You may NOT use our AI models to "test" or refine deceptive deepfakes with the intent of bypassing detection. Accounts showing patterns of iterative uploading (uploading the same fake repeatedly to improve it) will be permanently banned.

Betting & Voting Manipulation: Using bots, scripts, click-farms, or coordinated groups ("brigading") to manipulate the outcome of a prediction pool, leaderboard, or consensus score is strictly prohibited.

Misinformation via Reports: You may not alter, Photoshop, forge, or misrepresent a Defakes "Evidence Report," "Truth Score," or "Blockchain Hash" to deceive others.

False Flagging: Deliberately tagging real content as "Fake" (or vice versa) in a coordinated attempt to harm the reputation of the subject.

2. Platform Exclusivity & "Spoilers"

We want to preserve the integrity of the blind voting process ("The Game").

What is Not Allowed:

No "Spoiler" Distribution: You may not post static screenshots or screen recordings of the Final Verdict (e.g., the big Red/Green result) on external platforms if it spoils the analysis for others.

Prohibited Editing: You may not crop out the Defakes.com Watermark or the Truth Score from any shared media.

Authorized Sharing: To share a case, you must use the "Share Challenge" Link. This ensures the recipient can vote blindly and see the forensic data for themselves.

3. Safety, Privacy, and Consent

We distinguish between Public Figures and Private Individuals.

A. Public Feed Rules (Strict Consent)

Unauthorized Public Analysis: You may NOT upload media depicting private individuals (neighbors, co-workers, classmates) to the Public Feed without their explicit consent.

The Rule: If you do not have permission, you must use Private/Restricted Mode. Posting private disputes to the Public Feed constitutes harassment.

Doxxing: Sharing personal contact info (address, phone, email) alongside an analysis is banned.

Harassment: Using forensic analysis to humiliate, mock, or bully individuals (e.g., zooming in on body parts to mock appearance).

B. Sexual Content & Nudity

CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material): ZERO TOLERANCE. We report all content depicting sexual abuse of minors to the NCMEC and law enforcement. Do not upload this even for "analysis."

Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII): You may not upload intimate images of others without their consent for the purpose of entertainment or shaming.

C. The "Victim Defense" Exception (Private Mode Only)

We recognize that victims of deepfake pornography need tools to prove their innocence. You MAY upload suspected deepfake intimate imagery IF AND ONLY IF:

  • You are the Subject: You verify that you are the person depicted (or their attorney).
  • Private Mode Only: The content is locked to Private/Restricted Mode. It will be analyzed by the AI but will NEVER appear on the Public Feed or Leaderboards.
  • Purpose: The upload is solely to generate a forensic report to prove inauthenticity.

4. Violence and Graphic Content

Public Feed: We do not allow gratuitous violence, gore, or torture in the Public Feed.

Evidence Mode Exception: Forensic analysis of graphic content (e.g., war crimes footage, police incidents) may be permitted in Private/Restricted Mode for investigative purposes, provided it is not promoted for shock value.

5. Regulated Goods and Commercial Activities

What is Not Allowed:

Gambling Promotion: You may not use the chat or comments to promote external casinos, sports betting sites, or illegal wagering services.

Trading Points for Cash: You may not buy or sell Defakes "Points" or "XP" on external black markets. Defakes Points have no cash value.

Illegal Goods: Promoting drugs, weapons, or illicit services.

6. Content Moderation & Enforcement

How we enforce these rules:

  • Removal: We delete content that violates these guidelines.
  • Restriction: We may forcibly move content from Public to Private view if it is sensitive but legal.
  • Clawback: We may revoke Points, XP, or Ranks gained through manipulation.
  • Bans: We may suspend or permanently ban accounts for serious or repeated violations.

Reporting & Appeals:

  • If you see a violation, use the "Report" button on the case.
  • If your content was removed in error, you can submit an appeal via our Help Center.
