If Taylor Swift Can't Defeat Deepfake Porn, No One Can

If anyone can rally up a base, it's Taylor Swift. When sexually explicit, likely AI-generated images of Swift circulated on social media this week, it galvanized her fans. Swifties found phrases and hashtags related to the images and flooded them with videos and photos of Swift performing. "Protect Taylor Swift" went viral, trending as Swifties spoke out against not just the Swift deepfakes, but all nonconsensual, explicit images made of women. Swift, arguably the most famous woman in the world right now, has become the high-profile victim of an all-too-frequent form of harassment.
