If the deepfake of you is on a social media site most of them have community guidelines, they’re a set of rules which cover how people can behave on the site.
They will usually contain information on what is not allowed on their platforms and behaviours that can lead to accounts being suspended or permanently deleted.
For example they may have a policy on impersonation that means the deepfake goes against their guidelines.
You can report any deepfakes that breach guidelines directly to the social media platform.
The National Cyber Security Centre has guidance on how to stay safe on social media and how to spot and report fake accounts.
