NEW VIRAL LEAK: Taylor Swift Viral On Twitter
AI-Generated Explicit Images of Taylor Swift Viral on Twitter
– Searches for Taylor Swift on Twitter (referred to as X) yield no results after explicit AI-generated images of the singer were widely shared last week. The search function only displays results in specific tabs.
– Fake images of Swift, depicting her in provocative and explicit poses, have predominantly spread on X and garnered millions of views before being removed from the social media platform.
– Like many major social media platforms, X’s policy prohibits the sharing of “synthetic media manipulated or out of context that could deceive or mislead people and cause harm.”
– The incident comes amidst concerns about the use of AI-generated misleading images and videos, especially as the United States approaches the presidential election year, raising fears of misinformation.
– Not only public figures but also individuals like a 14-year-old high school student in New Jersey have been victims of such harassment, with edited images potentially being shared publicly.
– Nine U.S. states currently have laws against creating or sharing non-consensual deepfake images, which are synthetic images created to mimic someone’s likeness.
This situation highlights the challenges posed by AI and technology in safeguarding individuals’ privacy and combating the spread of manipulated content online.
