"Last week, the office of the San Francisco City Attorney issued a landmark
lawsuit. It’s accusing 16 “nudify” websites of violating United States laws in
relation to non-consensual intimate images and child abuse material.
“Nudify” sites and apps are easy to use. They let anyone upload a photo of a
real person to generate a fake but photorealistic image of what they might look
like undressed. Within seconds, someone’s photo becomes an explicit image.
In the first half of 2024, the 16 websites named in the lawsuit have been
visited more than 200 million times. One of the sites says: “imagine wasting
time taking her out on dates, when you can just use [redacted site] to get her
nudes”.
These sites are also advertised on social media. Since the start of this year,
there has been a 2,400% increase in advertising of nudify apps or sites on
social media."
