Public enforcement office combining litigation, investigation and intermediary notices

San Francisco City Attorney’s Office

The San Francisco City Attorney's Office brings the cited civil action over AI-generated sexually explicit imagery and receives compliance information and penalty payments required by the Briver judgment. It also sponsored legislation and reportedly sent later app-store notices.

What the retained records establish

The signed Briver judgment requires $100,000 in civil penalties and defined reporting and domain-compliance duties; receipts and later reports were not acquired. A sworn declaration describes contact-record production following subpoenas to Cloudflare, Namecheap, Name.com and Google, which is evidence-gathering rather than a takedown order. The city separately reported ten sites offline or inaccessible in California. July 2026 reporting describes notices to Apple and Google, but the originals and delivery records were not acquired.
