After warning the White House...
The "X" platform
deletes erotic images of a popular American singer
The Virgin said the X-platform temporarily cancelled the search for photos of
American singer Taylor Swift, after the White House launched a warning of
fabricated pornographic images that spread to the star via media.
The site stated that for the time being if you search for "Taylor Swift"
or "Taylor Swift AI" on "X" a message would appear stating that
"something went wrong".
The Verge reported that the "X"
platform published a statement about a day after the photos appeared saying that
it "actively removes all identified images" and takes action against
the accounts it publishes.
Taylor Swift is reportedly considering legal
action against the sites that publish the images.
In an interview with NBC Nightly News
Microsoft CEO Satya
Nadella called the deepfake "alarming and terrible."
He believed that AI companies needed to move quickly to set up
better protection barriers.
"The Virgin"
indicates that although the search is suspended on the X platform
some results still appear to users if they try to find it by manipulating some of
the characters in the search box or adding quotation marks.
Pornography through Swift's AI technologies has been widespread
and many have warned about the uses of this technology and the urgent need
for its legislation.
White House
press secretary Karen Jean-Pierre told a news conference
Friday that social media companies "have an important role to play in
enforcing their own rules" to prevent the spread of such misinformation.
"This is very worrying, so we will do what we can to deal with this issue"
she added
explaining that Congress must take legislative action on this issue.
In additional remarks to ABC News
Jean-Pierre said Congress should "take legislative action.
"While social media companies make their own independent decisions on
content management, we believe they have an important role to play in
enforcing their own rules to prevent the spread of misinformation
and intimate images of real people without obtaining consent."
Jean-Pierre highlighted some of
the Department's recent actions on these issues, including the launch of
a task force to address online harassment and abuse and the launch of
the first national 24/7 helpline for survivors of image
based sexual abuse by the Ministry of Justice.
