Overview

• The Garante ordered a provisional, urgent limitation on the processing of personal data of Italian users by the British Virgin Islands company behind Clothoff, effective immediately.
• Clothoff offers AI-generated 'deep nude' images and videos, free or paid, without consent checks or disclosure that outputs are artificial, and it can be used by minors.
• The authority opened a broader probe aimed at curbing other nudification services and signaled the block could be extended beyond Clothoff.
• At the time of reporting, the Clothoff website and its Telegram bot were still reachable, underscoring enforcement and cross-border challenges.
• Officials cited threats to dignity, privacy and child protection, aligning with research from groups like Thorn and Graphika that shows widespread use and significant victimization.
