Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or unwilling to enforce their policies about who can buy ads on their platforms.

While parent company Meta’s Ad Library, which archives ads on its platforms, who paid for them, and where and when they were posted, shows that the company has taken down several of these ads previously, many ads that explicitly invited users to create nudes and some ad buyers were up until I reached out to Meta for comment. Some of these ads were for the best known nonconsensual “undress” or “nudify” services on the internet.

    Yeah, let’s just sexually violate everyone. /s

    Who the hell is upvoting this awful take? Please understand that it would never be equitable. If this became reality, it would be women and girls that were exploited the most viciously.

    I guess if you don’t give a shit about people, especially women and girls, feeling safe in public at all, you would say something like this…

      It’s already possible. Do you want to make it punishable by jail time? How do you prove some anon on 4chan that posts nudes of someone else actually deepfaked it?

      I don’t see how this can otherwise be contained.

        Do you want to make it punishable by jail time?

        Yes, sex crimes deserve harsh punishments.

        How do you prove some anon on 4chan that posts nudes of someone else actually deepfaked it?

        It’s either deepfaked, or revenge porn. Whichever charge sticks. If 4chan refuses to unmask anons posting illegal content, throw the book at 4chan. Way overdue anyway.

        I don’t see how this can otherwise be contained.

        See previous two answers.

          Okay if you want to make everything punishable by law then we simply fundamentally disagree.
