Dear Community,
Yesterday, I experienced a situation where I was surprised. Well, I'm surprised quite often, but in this case, it was something ridiculous, more or less not understandable to me.
A good (female) friend, whom I have known personally since we went to high school together in Germany, wrote to me that someone had created a "Bio" about her, which was obviously completely weird.
The only correct thing was the model name, the city where she had lived previously, that's it. The picture was generated with AI, so she was not even aware of this picture; it was more or less a mixture created, most likely with Stable Defusion Engine. Every detail about her was wrong, starting from DOB to "net worth", which was rediciouls.
Every Model on this page looked like an AI-generated picture; I guess that's the approach this Domain holder is following.
SEO stats of this Domain are pretty good since he is using real Model Names; luckily, in "our" case, it's not her real name but her Artist Name.
She is not doing OF or something like that.
So, I checked WHOIS and discovered that GoDaddy hosts the domain; as some of you know, I have had good experiences with them. I called the Abuse Nr.
The Guy on the line was unaware that this number was redirected to him. He was a salesperson (I know that because of his email signature, he sent the Form to me to get this whole story checked). Well, he couldn't skip the last question, which was quite obvious: "Hey, are you aware of our Domain Discount Club? You have 140 Domains—You can save thousands of Dollars!"
I just said: Please, stop it - not needed, in an amicable way. He was helpful as well, at least in what he could do.
So, long story short: I wrote [email protected] and [email protected]. The answer was Short: They can't put the page Down since it's not hosted on GD. WTF?! SURE!
All the Adult sites, are hosted on DMCA-ignoring Servers, what a surprise!
Even a friend of mine with her real (Artist) Name in the Copy of this Email.
The answer: Go through your Legal Authorities in Germany; we are familiar with the processes.
Sorry, but is this the way someone has to talk to GD? Only via official police Case?
This is the most ridiculous answer I've heard so far from GD.
Instead of asking for help, in terms of Verification of the "real" person and taking action based on that - they want the full procedure with Law Enforcement.
I don't know how to answer something like that because it's just a Joke.
Most of the models on this page are fake. Even people unfamiliar with AI can see that the faces and Bodies are fake.
And the most obvious thing: hands. You can not fake Hands that perfectly with AI, as of now—with SDXL, it's not that easy.

Question(s):
- Do you have similar situations?
- How do we proceed with this Puppet theatre?
- According to EU regulations, GD is responsible for that. How do you see that from a legal POV? Lets put GD to the side, and call it: Registrar XYZ. Can they just put their responsibilities aside?
