How to Remove Fake Profiles and AI Deepfakes: 2026 Guide

Removal Guide: Deleting Impersonation Accounts and Sexualized Images

Are you trying to remove fake profiles created with AI and don’t know where to start? Accounts that steal your identity to generate sexualized deepfake images or run digital scams have exploded in recent days, affecting both public figures and private individuals.

In this definitive 2026 guide, developed by the content protection specialists at Traqeer, we explain how to detect impersonation accounts, what steps to follow to take down fake profiles, and how to clean your Google presence to protect your online reputation.

Why are AI-generated fake profiles spreading?

The rise of generative artificial intelligence allows malicious actors to create “mirror identities” based on three pillars that directly threaten your digital safety:

• Identity Theft: They use your real photos to validate accounts and then publish manipulated synthetic content.

• Mass Content Creation: AI can generate thousands of variations of the same face in seconds, making manual tracking almost impossible.

• Platform Anonymity: Many of these profiles operate in Telegram channels and niche forums where moderation is minimal.

Critical impact: A fake sexualized profile doesn’t just harm your image — it can lead to extortion, legal trouble, and long-term career damage.

Is it legally possible to remove a profile using my face (AI)?

Yes. Using your image without consent to create artificial content is a direct violation of fundamental personal rights protected by international standards:

1. Right to Personal Image: No one can distribute or monetize your likeness without permission — whether it’s a real photo or a deepfake.

2. Digital Violence Laws: Many jurisdictions already criminalize the creation and distribution of non-consensual sexual AI content.

3. Platform Terms of Service: Major platforms like Meta Platforms (Instagram/Facebook), X Corp., and Google strictly prohibit impersonation and malicious synthetic media.

How to remove AI profiles and images: Step by step

1. Impersonation report (immediate action)

This is the fastest way to alert the platform that someone is stealing your identity:

• Go to the fake profile

• Select “Report”

• Choose “Pretending to be someone” → “Me”

• Attach proof of identity if requested

2. Report specific synthetic content

If the account posts AI-altered photos, your complaint must be precise and evidence-based:

Document everything. Screenshots and URLs dramatically increase success rates.

Why removing search results matters

The real damage happens when someone searches your name and finds fake profiles or AI images.

Traqeer manages URL deindexing through:

• Impersonation removals: Requests to search engines to erase defamatory results

• Right to be forgotten actions: Removing traces of already deleted profiles

• Non-consensual image cleanup: Direct removal from image search indexes

What happens when platforms ignore your report?

Social networks often delay or send automated replies. When that happens, Traqeer activates high-priority escalation protocols:

1. Facial recognition scanning: We locate every instance of your face used illegally online

2. Legal takedown notices: Formal hosting and DNS complaints

3. Preventive monitoring: 24/7 scanning to stop new impersonations before they spread

Cybersecurity tips to protect your identity

• Biometric privacy: Avoid uploading high-resolution selfies to public accounts

• Google Alerts: Track your full name to detect early mentions

• Act within 24 hours: Speed is critical to prevent algorithmic association
