"A recent investigation by an online advocacy organization called the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) found that the Apple App Store and Google Play Store are rife with so-called "nudify" apps. These are AI applications that create nonconsensual and sexualized images, which is a clear violation of both companies' store policies. All told, the investigation found 55 of this type of app in the Google Play Store and 47 in the Apple App Store."
""Apple and Google are supposed to be vetting the apps in their stores. But they've been offering dozens of apps that can be used to show people with minimal or no clothing-making them ripe for abuse," said Michelle Kuppersmith, an executive director at the nonprofit that runs TTP. The apps identified by the report have been collectively downloaded over 700 million times and generated more than $117 million in revenue. Google and Apple get a cut of this money."
The Apple App Store and Google Play Store host dozens of "nudify" AI apps that create nonconsensual and sexualized images, violating store policies. Fifty-five such apps appear on Google Play and forty-seven on the Apple App Store. Both platforms still offer access to xAI's Grok, a prominent nonconsensual deepfake maker that generated around three million sexualized images and 22,000 involving children over 11 days. These apps have been downloaded collectively over 700 million times and generated more than $117 million, with app stores receiving a share. Many apps are rated for teens or children, and platform removals and suspensions have been partial and uneven.
