Executive Summary
This analysis examines infrastructure patterns across 110 domains associated with AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). The data reveals significant concentration of infrastructure services, with several providers enabling disproportionately large numbers of these domains through CDN, hosting, and network services.
IMPORTANT: Service providers (CDNs, hosts, ISPs) are being paid to enable these sites and should be held accountable, even if they're acting as intermediaries like Cloudflare.
Key Findings
Infrastructure Breakdown:
- Cloudflare, Inc.: hosts 45.5% of all domains (50 domains), serves as CDN for 53.6% of domains (59 domains), provides ISP services for 45.5% of domains (50 domains)
- Namecheap, Inc. is the registrar for 40.9% of domains (45 domains)
Bad Actors Identified
Key Principle: All service providers in the chain (CDN, Host, ISP) are being paid and should be held accountable, including intermediaries like Cloudflare.
