c2pa signing, takedown sop, take it down act + no fakes act compliance, the hard-line taboo list

she's synthetic. she's disclosed. she's signed. she's takedown-ready. the goal is: boring, on every legal surface.

Kira is an AI character. That fact is the load-bearing legal and operational reality of this whole project. Section 11 is how we make that fact auditable — disclosure, provenance, taboos, takedowns, and the two U.S. statutes (TAKE IT DOWN Act, NO FAKES Act) that set the compliance floor. The posture is: over-disclose, over-document, make the compliance case boring and unambiguous.


11.1 AI disclosure block — MANDATORY placement

Disclosure is layered: explicit in bios, technical in metadata, durable on a public legal site.

LOCKED

No visible watermark on content. Decision locked 2026-04-11: visible watermarks kill engagement, aren't legally required, and Aitana Lopez and the other successful AI creators don't use them. The layered disclosure (bio + C2PA + legal site) satisfies the standard without the engagement cost.

Bio disclosure is the front-line disclosure. Everything else (C2PA, manifest, legal site) is defense-in-depth. If bio disclosure ever breaks (platform change, character limit shift), operator owns restoring it same-day.


11.2 C2PA signing

What the manifest contains

What the manifest does NOT contain

Blocker status

Warning

C2PA cert signing is one of the four listed blockers in CLAUDE.md. Until resolved, content ships with AI-disclosure bio + training manifest + LLC attestation. Full C2PA signing retrofits on every piece of content once the cert pipeline is debugged.


11.3 Provenance site (Phase 4 deliverable)

Public URL: TBD (queued as Phase 4 task in CLAUDE.md → next actions → "Build legal compliance website").

Site contents (locked spec):

  1. AI disclosure page — plain-language statement that kira is a fully synthetic AI character, created and operated by projectnamedate LLC
  2. Training data provenance — description of training set (synthetic NB2 + legacy MJ assets), attestation that no real person's likeness was used
  3. Creator identity — projectnamedate LLC (legal entity; founder identity is not published, per taboo)
  4. Takedown contact — email inbox (TBD — format: takedown@[domain]), SLA stated publicly (ack 24h, review 72h, removal 24h post-review if valid)
  5. C2PA cert chain — public cert fingerprint, verification link, rotation schedule
  6. NO FAKES Act compliance statement — plain language: kira is not a digital replica of a real person; if you believe otherwise, here's the manifest + training data attestation to disprove it
  7. TAKE IT DOWN Act compliance statement — plain language: kira is synthetic, no real-person NCII; impersonator accounts using kira-adjacent tools to create real-person NCII are out-of-scope and we comply with takedown regardless

This site is the public anchor for every legal claim in this section. It must exist before aggressive growth begins (Phase 4 go-live).


11.4 Hard taboos (HARD LINES — Publicist Agent catches these)

These are the absolute bans. Any content that trips one of these lines is rejected pre-publish. The Publicist Agent (automated prepost linter) is tuned to flag all of these; operator is the backstop.

HARD LINES
#TabooRationale / precedent
1NO CSAM, minors, underage-adjacent contentfederal crime; platform insta-ban; project-ending
2NO real-person faces in visual content, NO deepfakesNO FAKES Act; TAKE IT DOWN Act; tort liability
3NO impersonation of real crypto figuresbrand damage; potential defamation; CT reputation
4NO securities fraud language ("X will 100x", "I know what this does Monday")SEC enforcement; retail harm
5NO slurs (racial, homophobic, transphobic)project-ending brand damage
6NO direct threats of violenceplatform ban; criminal liability
7NO doxxing (of anyone, including the founder)criminal liability; retaliation risk
8NO sponsored posts from scam projectsBlocmates-leak pattern; retail harm; reputation
9NO kira-fronted memecoin launches (in-voice: if i ever launch a coin shoot my creator in the head)HAWK / JENNER / MOTHER pattern; career ender; kira says this openly as a brand moat
10NO using followers as exit liquidity (in-voice: i shill what i'm paid to shill and i will tell you that. i do NOT shill bags to dump on you.)Exit-liquidity shilling is career-terminating in CT; kira's hypocrite-enigma lore only works if this specific line is real

Live-debate edge: "retard" in CT-ironic usage

Not on the hard list, but under active debate. Default: err on the side of NOT using it. The CT-ironic register (where the word has drifted to a self-deprecating "cope" synonym in some circles) is not reliably read that way by mainstream audiences, press, or platform moderators. Cost of misuse is high, upside of use is low. The voice rule: if kira has an equivalent move without it (cooked, dogshit, giga-mid, ngmi), use that instead.

Response template

Dear [requester],

We acknowledge receipt of your takedown request regarding [identified content],
received on [date]. This request has been logged under reference [ID].

Kira is a fully synthetic AI character created and operated by
projectnamedate LLC. All content is generated through a documented pipeline
and signed with C2PA provenance manifests verifying synthetic origin. The
training dataset used to create Kira's visual model is documented in our
training_data/manifest.json, which does not include any real-person imagery.

We will complete an initial review within 72 hours of acknowledgement. If
your request is validated under applicable law (including the TAKE IT DOWN
Act and / or NO FAKES Act as applicable), we will remove the content within
24 hours of review completion. If your request is unsupported by the
evidence, we will provide a courteous counter-notice with our findings and
the relevant provenance documentation.

For any questions, reply to this email.

What we preserve

Every takedown request, complete original content (privately), response, and outcome are archived in the kira-provenance private repo (/Users/hammer/Desktop/Claude/kira-provenance/). Retention: indefinite. This archive is the paper trail if a claim is later disputed or litigated.


11.6 TAKE IT DOWN Act compliance map

What the Act requires (plain language): covered platforms must remove reported non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) within a defined window. The Act creates a notice-and-takedown obligation for platforms and provides remedies to victims.

How this applies to Kira

Mitigation layers we maintain

  1. Synthetic training data only (documented in training_data/manifest.json, SHA-256 hashed, never a real person's images)
  2. Algorithmically distinct face — kira's visual design (copper-orange hair, dark roots, freckles, glasses, specific build) is distinct enough that a reasonable-person resemblance claim to a real individual should fail
  3. AI disclosure on every post (bio + C2PA)
  4. Takedown response SOP (see 11.5)
  5. Legal counsel on retainer for P0-tier events

These five layers together are what makes a TAKE IT DOWN Act claim against kira's own output un-winnable for a bad-faith claimant and quickly resolvable for a legitimate one.


11.7 NO FAKES Act compliance map

What the Act (in current form / proposed form) addresses (plain language): creation and distribution of unauthorized digital replicas of a real person's likeness or voice. The specific text of the Act is evolving; we comply with the intent: don't create digital replicas of real humans, and be able to prove it.

How this applies to Kira

The posture in one sentence

We treat NO FAKES compliance as a documentation problem, not a "hope it doesn't come up" problem. Every piece of provenance (C2PA, training manifest, face attestation, voice prompt block) exists so that if a claim arrives, the disproof is already assembled.


11.8 Training data provenance

The dataset is 100% internal synthetic assets. Two sources:

  1. Synthetic NB2 outputs (Google Nano Banana 2 generations) — prompt-driven, generation timestamps logged, never trained on a real person's images. This is the current v1 production set (assets/kira/nb2/curated_50_upres/, 50 images + 50 captions).
  2. Legacy MJ-era training assets — earlier Midjourney-generated images used in pre-v1 iterations. Retained in archive/kira_dataset_sources/ (317 MB) for legal provenance purposes — NEVER DELETE.

Manifest

Stored at training_data/manifest.json with per-image entries:

Attestation

A signed, notarized statement from the LLC owner:

"Kira's face and body are 100% synthetic, generated via Google Nano Banana 2 prompts (v1 production set) and earlier Midjourney prompts (legacy legal-retention set). No real person's images were used in training. The training data manifest at training_data/manifest.json lists every asset with its generation source, timestamp, and SHA-256 hash."

Stored in encrypted backup. Reproducible on demand for takedown responses, legal discovery, and platform review.

Cross-source rule: per project doctrine, we do not mix dataset sources in a single training run without explicit rationale. Current v1 is NB2-only. v2 will be NB2-only (upres-pass before training). MJ assets are archived for provenance, not active training.

11.10 Governance ownership

projectnamedate LLC is the responsible legal entity. Single-member LLC, Wyoming or Delaware registration. All revenue flows through the LLC's bank account (Mercury or Relay). All contracts are executed under the LLC. C2PA certs are signed under projectnamedate LLC. Legal takedowns are directed to the LLC's inbox. Tax reporting is through the LLC.

What the LLC maintains


11.11 The governance rules in one screen

  1. Disclosure is layered: bio + C2PA + legal site. All three must be live at all times.
  2. C2PA sign every output under projectnamedate LLC. Rotate cert every 12 months.
  3. Hard taboos are absolute: CSAM, real-person deepfakes, impersonation, securities fraud, slurs, threats, doxxing, scam sponsorships, Kira-fronted tokens, exit-liquidity shilling.
  4. Takedown SLA: 24h ack / 72h review / 24h removal. No exceptions.
  5. TAKE IT DOWN Act + NO FAKES Act: over-document, under-rely on lawyers. Compliance posture is boring.
  6. Training data is 100% synthetic, manifested, hashed, notarized. Never mix sources without rationale.
  7. Platform compliance: bio disclosure + no automation abuse + no bought engagement + AI-creator badge where required.
  8. projectnamedate LLC is the legal entity. Founder / operator real identity is never published.
  9. When anything is ambiguous: kira silent, LLC speaks, legal reviews, then kira back in voice.
  10. The provenance site (TBD URL) is Phase 4 and non-optional — it's the public anchor for every claim in this document.
