Hong Kong Man Finds His Sex Tape Circulated in Illegal Spy-Cam Chats

A Hong Kong man identified as Eric says he and his girlfriend were secretly filmed having sex in a Shenzhen hotel, and the clip appeared in illicit spy-cam chats marketed as porn. BBC reports note thousands of similar videos circulated on sites and Telegram, which is often used for distributing such content despite China’s bans; a trader linked to the material profited from it. Telegram says it forbids non-consensual porn and moderates content. The couple are traumatized, and the story underscores ongoing privacy violations and the global illicit spy-cam market amid China’s crackdown on obscene material online.

Rising Popularity of AI Apps Stripping Women in Photos Raises Concerns

The popularity of AI apps that use deepfake technology to undress women in photos is skyrocketing, with 24 million people visiting undressing websites in September alone, according to researchers. These apps, part of a concerning trend of non-consensual pornography, use AI to recreate images of women in the nude, often without their consent or knowledge. The rise in popularity is attributed to the release of open-source diffusion models that create more realistic deepfakes. Privacy experts are alarmed by the ease and effectiveness of deepfake software, which is increasingly being used by ordinary individuals to target unsuspecting victims. Currently, there is no federal law banning the creation of deepfake pornography, leaving victims with limited legal recourse.

Rising Popularity of 'Nudify' Apps Raises Concerns of Non-Consensual Porn

Apps and websites that use artificial intelligence (AI) to undress women in photos are gaining popularity, raising concerns about non-consensual pornography. These "nudify" services, many of which market themselves on social media platforms, have seen a significant increase in links advertising their apps. The rise in popularity is attributed to the release of open-source AI models that can create realistic images. Privacy experts worry that advances in AI technology have made deepfake software more accessible and effective, leading to an increase in non-consensual pornography targeting ordinary individuals. Law enforcement faces challenges in investigating and prosecuting such cases, and there is currently no federal law specifically banning the creation of deepfake pornography. Platforms like TikTok and Meta have taken steps to block keywords associated with searching for undressing apps.
