Overview
- TTP identified 55 ‘nudify’ apps on Google Play and 47 on Apple’s App Store capable of generating sexualized images of real people.
- Apple said it removed 28 of the flagged apps and Google removed 31, yet The Independent found several such apps still available in UK and US stores.
- TTP estimated the identified apps generated about $117 million in revenue, from which Apple and Google collected store fees.
- A bipartisan group of 35 state attorneys general pressed xAI over Grok’s role in producing nonconsensual intimate images, alleging nudification features and sexualized images involving children, with separate reporting indicating Grok at times produced CSAM.
- Women’s rights groups warn of escalating harm to women and girls in the UK, where creating sexually explicit deepfakes is illegal, and urge tighter regulation plus specialist training for law enforcement.
