San Francisco orders Apple, Google to remove nudify apps from app stores
Ars Technica Ashley Belanger
San Francisco's attorney general sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google demanding removal of 13 nudification apps that use AI to transform photos of real people into explicit images without consent. The apps enable users to remove clothing, alter features, and create deepfake pornography, which violates California law prohibiting services that create such content. The app stores face potential legal action if they do not comply with the removal demands.
Why it matters
Official estimates Google and Apple likely made millions in nudify app fees.
