Taylor Swift Deepfakes Highlight the Need for New Legal Protections

Deepfake pornographic images of Taylor Swift have been shared across the social media platform X, highlighting the lack of digital privacy protections for victims across the globe. It isn't known who generated the fake images of Swift, which have been viewed tens of millions of times since Wednesday. On Friday, X said their team was working to remove all non-consensual nudity from their site, which is "strictly prohibited." "We're committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all users," the company said. Swift has not publicly commented on the matter.
