Likeness detection

Creators who enrol verify their identity, and YouTube then scans uploads for videos where their face looks altered or synthesised. Matches collect in a queue inside Studio. From there you can watch each one and request removal through the privacy process, and the same scan also runs quietly during the Checks step of any upload.

An empty queue is normal, and it means nothing matching was found rather than the tool having failed, which is easy to misread the first time you open it. Coverage is built round faces, so a convincing voice clone needs a different complaint.
