The Daily Fuckup

Federal authorities seized the domains CFAKE.com and SOCFAKE.com on June 11, 2026, and the Justice Department made the action public on June 12. DOJ says the sites were used to publish thousands of digitally forged images and videos that depicted famous women as nude or, in some cases, engaged in sexual activity without their consent. According to the department, the material portrayed politicians, first ladies of multiple countries, royalty, journalists, television presenters, athletes, entertainers, and others, and the sites let users browse by tags including terms like "rape," "forced," and "degradation."

The department says a federal judge found probable cause to issue the seizure warrants under the TAKE IT DOWN Act, the law enacted in May 2025 to target the nonconsensual publication of intimate visual depictions, including AI-generated digital forgeries. DOJ also says this is the first seizure of a domain for violating the statute. That makes the action an early, visible test of the new law, but it is still a seizure based on probable cause, not a conviction or final finding on the underlying allegations.

The case is another sign that federal prosecutors are now using the new law against the infrastructure behind deepfake sexual abuse, not just against individual uploaders. DOJ’s public description focuses on the domains themselves and on the alleged scale of the material hosted there. That does not resolve the case’s merits, but it does show prosecutors are willing to move quickly when they say a site is built around nonconsensual synthetic sexual content.
