"The platforms are key participants in the spread of AI tools that can turn real people into sexualized images. The app stores even ran ads for similar nudifying apps in the search results."
"It's not just that the companies are failing to actually appropriately review these apps and continue to approve them and profit from them; they are actually directing users to the apps themselves."
"Some were marketed with sexual images, while others weren't advertised as such but could still be used for deepfakes. Those apps have collectively generated around $122 million in revenue and been downloaded 483 million times."
Apple and Google have been found to still offer nudify apps on their platforms, despite having policies against such content. A report from the Tech Transparency Project revealed that these apps, which can create sexualized images of real people, are being actively promoted and have generated significant revenue. The report identified numerous nudify apps available for download, some labeled 'E' for Everyone, making them accessible to children. Both companies have acknowledged the issue but have not fully addressed the presence of these apps in their stores.
