Pornhub, Twitter and Reddit ban AI-generated celeb porn

Several top web firms are taking action against users who spread fake porn videos of celebrities on their sites, also known as'deepfakes.' Pornhub, Twitter and Reddit have all banned the AI-generated porn from being posted on their platforms, saying it falls under the guidelines of non-consensual porn, which violates site-wide policies. The moves come after deepfakes videos have popped up all over the internet. Star Wars lead Daisy Ridley has been featured in a fake video on the Reddit thread (shown above). Fueling the fire was a user-created application, called'FakeApp,' which lets users create their own deepfakes videos via an easy-to-use app that can be downloaded directly to your desktop computer. The deepfakes phenomenon got its start on Reddit last December, when a user community called'deepfakes' began posting the fake porn videos.
