Appropriated or synthesized nude photos of celebrities have always caused great trouble to artists. As artificial intelligence technology becomes increasingly powerful and popular, more people can easily use artificial intelligence to generate indecent photos of celebrities. Last week, female singer Taylor Swift became a victim. Multiple fake indecent photos were circulated on the social platform X. The content of some accounts was viewed millions of times, and some posts were even viewed more than 45 million times.
Since the indecent photos went viral last Wednesday, Taylor Swift fans have initiated actions to protect their idol, including reducing the exposure of related content, reporting accounts that share the images, and posting positive content using the idol’s hashtag. The fans’ swift action also reflects X’s handling of the incident, which has been criticized for being slow to curb the spread of non-consensual pornographic images. As a temporary measure, X recently blocked users from searching for Taylor Swift’s name.
In response to media inquiries, X’s head of business operations, Joe Benarroch, explained that X acted cautiously on this issue and prioritized safety. However, some media pointed out that the measures were taken only a few days after the indecent photos issue came to light. X later issued a statement, emphasizing that the platform strictly prohibits the publication of non-consensual nudity images, and also stated that it has a zero-tolerance policy for such content. The team is actively removing all relevant images and taking appropriate action against the accounts that posted them. X is closely monitoring the situation to ensure that any further violations are promptly addressed and the content in question is removed, and X is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all users.
