Premium Protection · Image Shield + Audience Shield
Real-time alerts the moment a deepfake or clone handle appears using your face or your handle — before it can DM your community or run a fake giveaway.
For creators, founders, and public figures whose face or brand imagery gets weaponized against their audience.
For anyone with an engaged audience — clone-handle detection and a public trust page your followers can verify.
What happens without it: A scammer scrapes three of your Reels, feeds them into a face-swap model, and posts a 45-second 'crypto opportunity' pretending to be you. It runs for 6 days before a follower DMs you a screenshot — by then $180k has moved through the wallet in the caption.
With Shield activated: With Image Shield the deepfake is flagged within 6 hours, a takedown packet is generated automatically, and your followers receive a warning email before the video reaches 10k views.
What happens without it: Your professional headshot is lifted from LinkedIn and used to romance-scam victims across 3 continents. Victims report you to law enforcement; you spend weeks proving your innocence.
With Shield activated: Image Shield's reverse-image sweep catches each new profile as it appears, logs a court-ready case file, and files coordinated platform takedowns — often before the first victim sends money.
What happens without it: An impostor swaps one character in your handle, copies your bio and pinned tweet, and replies to every high-engagement post from your account with a 'DM us for wallet recovery' scam. Two followers lose their seed phrases in 24 hours.
With Shield activated: Audience Shield detects the clone within minutes based on handle-distance + bio similarity, publishes it on your public /shield page, and pushes a signed alert to your webhook so your community mods can pin a warning.
What happens without it: A cloned Telegram channel invites your followers to a 'community-only airdrop.' The invite URL is shared as a QR code in Instagram Stories, bypassing normal link scanning.
With Shield activated: Audience Shield monitors Telegram t.me endpoints tied to your brand keywords, correlates them with cloned handles, and warns subscribed followers by email the same day.

If you post video/photo content or your face is publicly associated with your brand, Image Shield is critical. If your audience engages with you on X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Telegram, Audience Shield is critical. Most creators activate both — they cover different attack surfaces (visual impersonation vs handle/audience impersonation).
New scans run every 6 hours. Audience Shield clone-detection runs continuously and can alert within minutes of a new handle going live. Both send email + optional signed webhook.
A PDF case file with the impostor URL, similarity score, matched-image thumbnails, timestamps, and pre-filled DMCA / impersonation report copy tailored to each platform's official form. Attach it, submit, done.
Yes. Every account gets one free deep scan for both Image Shield and Audience Shield when you activate your free Shield. You'll see real matches before you decide to upgrade to continuous monitoring.
Ownership is confirmed via a one-time bio-token or pinned post (for handles) and account linking or original-file upload (for images). Nothing is monitored on your behalf until ownership is proven — no false claims.
Pick your platform — each lander is tailored to that account type.
