roop-unleashed faceswap - final version
Update to the original post: Added Mega download links, removed links to other faceswap apps.
Hey Reddit,
I'm posting because my faceswap app, Roop-Unleashed, was recently disabled on Github. The takedown happened without any warning or explanation from Github. I'm honestly baffled. I haven't received any DMCA notices, copyright infringement claims, or any other communication that would explain why my project was suddenly pulled.
I've reviewed Github's terms of service and community guidelines, and I'm confident that I haven't violated any of them. I'm not using copyrighted material in the project itself, didn't suggest or support creating sexual content and it's purely for educational and personal use. I'm not sure what triggered this, and it's weird that obviously only my app and Reactor were targeted, although there are (uncensored) faceswap apps everywhere to create the content Github seems to be afraid of. I'm linking just a few of the biggest here: (removed the links, I'm not a rat but I don't get why they are still going strong without censoring and a huge following)
While I could request a review, I've decided against it. Since I believe I haven't done anything wrong, I don't feel I should have to jump through hoops to reinstate a project that was taken down without justification. Also, I certainly could add content analysis to the app without much work but this would slow down the swap process and honestly anybody who is able to use google can disable such checks in less than 1 minute.
So here we are and I decided to stop using Github for public repósitories and won't continue developing roop-unleashed. For anyone who was using it and is now looking for it, the last released version can be downloaded at:
w/o Models: Mega GDrive -> roop-unleashed w/o models

Obviously the installer won't work anymore as it will try downloading the repo from github. You're on your own.
Mind you I'm not done developing the perfect faceswap app, it just won't be released under the roop moniker and it surely won't be offered through Github. Thanks to everybody who supported me during the last 2 years and see you again!
