Apple and Google Ordered to Purge 'Nudify' Apps from App Stores The recent order from San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu demanding that Apple and Google remove "nudify" apps from their app stores is a long overdue recognition of the tech giants' complicity in perpetuating deepfake pornography.
For too long, these companies have profited from hosting and facilitating apps that exploit women and girls by generating non consensual intimate images.
The situation is particularly egregious given California's existing laws, which criminalize any activity that knowingly facilitates or recklessly aids the creation of such material.
