THE DANGERS OF PUBLIC MASS REPORTING AI/DEEPFAKE ACCOUNTS
To ensure the safety of ENHYPEN, we would like to clarify why our page does not publicly post, tag, or broadcast calls to mass report malicious AI and deepfake accounts. While we understand the urgency to remove explicit and harmful content, public call-outs often do more harm than good and actively hinder reporting efforts.
Here is why silent reporting is necessary:
• Gives them a heads-up: Public posts allow perpetrators to set their profiles to private, change handles, or delete evidence before enough reports go through.
• Enables profile rebranding: As seen recently, targeted accounts that notice public attention simply wipe their harmful posts, rebrand their profiles and start posting regular content to blend in and evade bans.
• Protects minors: Sharing handles publicly provides free exposure and risks driving underage users toward harmful content.
• Protects YOUR account: Public calls to mass report can trigger platform suspensions on your own account for "harassment" or "witch-hunting."
• Silent reporting is more effective: A sudden wave of quiet, independent reports triggers automated moderation algorithms much faster.
• Prevents algorithm boosting: Interacting with, quoting, or tagging problematic accounts increases their engagement, causing algorithms to push their content to wider audiences.
• Avoids psychological distress: Publicly circulating screenshots or links forces other fans to repeatedly encounter explicit and harmful material involving the members.
📌 Action Step: Always report these accounts quietly on your own. If coordinating mass reports, share links privately with trusted adults or within dedicated adult-only group chats so it can be handled silently and effectively.
