"Platform Blocks Taylor Swift Searches Amid Concerns Over Fake Explicit AI Images"
TL;DR Summary
X has confirmed that it blocked searches for Taylor Swift's name on its platform in response to the circulation of nonconsensual pornographic deepfakes of the singer. The move has drawn criticism for being slow to curb the spread of such content, despite stating a zero-tolerance policy. The images were traced to a Telegram group known for creating nonconsensual AI-generated images, prompting Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to acknowledge the need for more safeguards around technology.
