Her latest offending stream was a May 24 Dark Souls III session in which she played the game through a green-screen projection onto her bare feet.

The image was sourced from a third-party licensed library. The Verge noted on Tuesday that the marketing image lacked Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity ( C2PA) or SynthID watermarking data that sometimes accompanies AI-generated images. "However, we recognize that our internal review and approval process did not meet the standard required. We are taking immediate steps to strengthen our processes to ensure this does not happen again," Liu said.

UMG stated the agreement "extends TikTok and UMG's groundbreaking commitment to AI protections that promote human artistry and ensure platform economics effectively flow through to artists and songwriters. TikTok and UMG will work together to remove unauthorized AI-generated music from the platform, while further improving artist and songwriter attribution."

Plantation Simulator was, I am sorry to tell you, exactly what it sounded like when it launched. It's a top-down sim game in which you play as a Southern plantation owner forcing a number of Black slaves to grow crops under threat of being beaten. That's it. That was the game. The game had an actual mature content description appended to it from launch until roughly midday yesterday that read, verbatim: "In this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive. If you whip your black person too much, they will die."

Malaysia said Thursday it has ordered TikTok to explain and address what it described as the social media platform's failure to act swiftly against offensive, defamatory and fake content targeting the royal institution. The Communications and Multimedia Commission said the move followed the circulation of "grossly offensive, false, menacing and insulting" content, including AI-generated videos and manipulated images linked to an account falsely claiming association with king Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar.

“Researchers who submit texts with clear signs of so-called ‘AI slop’ can now be banned from the platform for a year.”

The measure was obviously introduced for the safety and protection of children and other non-consenting people. It adds a layer of security that means unwanted nudity in Apple apps including Messages, FaceTime, AirDrop and Contacts will be blurred.

X has pledged to review UK reports of suspected illegal hate and terrorist content within 24 hours on average, under commitments accepted by Ofcom. The Elon Musk-owned company said this would apply to content flagged through its illegal content reporting tool. The BBC has contacted X for comment. The announcement follows the launch of an Ofcom compliance programme in December, assessing whether the biggest social media companies have adequate systems and processes for dealing with reports of illegal hate and terror material.

France opened an inquiry in January 2025 into allegations that X, formerly known as Twitter, was used to interfere in French politics. The probe has since widened to cover allegations of Holocaust denial, distribution of sexual deepfakes and most recently possible complicity in the distribution of images of child sexual abuse.

Google's Danny Sullivan spoke about the distinction between commodity and non-commodity content, emphasizing the importance of understanding these categories for better search results.

The Oversight Board has taken steps to formalize its long-contemplated desire to work with other companies, but Meta has thus far declined to move forward with that process.

The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a charity group which aims to remove child abuse material from the internet, discovered various examples of explicit images of young girls that had been generated by Grok, with some victims as young as 11 years old.

The biggest [reason for leaving] is [Fandom's] increasingly aggressive use of ads, which is something us editors do not generally think about as the majority of ads are hidden when logged in. But given that 60%+ of our viewers (and a similar stat on many other Fandom wikis) are logged-out mobile visitors, the concern for advertising being aggressive and intrusive is not one we should take with a grain of salt. It is terrible.

Brief videos generated by the model, including a clip featuring Tom Cruise fighting Brad Pitt, soon went viral and drew intense criticism from Hollywood. While one successful screenwriter declared that the footage meant, "It's likely over for us," studios quickly sent ByteDance a flurry of cease-and-desist letters, with Disney's lawyers accusing the company of a "virtual smash-and-grab of Disney's IP."
