San Francisco city attorney David Chiu has sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google, demanding that they remove several “nudify” apps from their app stores. Here are the details.
App Store still struggling to keep ‘nudify’ apps out
As reported by Wired, Apple and Google are once again under fire over the availability of “nudify” or “undress” apps on the App Store and Play Store.
From the report:
The 13 apps investigated by the City Attorney’s Office—eight on the App Store and five on the Play Store—broadly advertise themselves as “face-swapping” tools, with their ability to create sexual deepfakes available once people use them. The website of one app, which has more than 1 million downloads, displays more than a dozen different styles of AI images it will generate, including “bikini queen curvy,” “calm busty,” and “cinematic intimacy.” Many of the styles show sexualized images of women alongside their descriptions. The homepage of another of the targeted apps claims to produce “free and uncensored” videos.
