San Francisco Demands Apple and Google Delete AI ‘Nudify’ Apps From App Stores

San Francisco's City Attorney sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google demanding they remove 13 face-swap applications from their app stores. The apps are designed to generate non-consensual intimate imagery targeting women and girls, generating revenue for the platforms hosting them.

Why it matters: Women and girls are being targeted with non-consensual deepfake intimate imagery at scale; app store operators and security practitioners should understand the evolving legal pressure on platforms to police this content category and the technical challenges in detecting such abuse.
