News San Francisco to sue 'undress' sites

[cordoba]

All the sites are apparently based overseas.

The San Francisco City Attorney’s office is suing 16 of the most frequently visited AI-powered “undressing” websites, often used to create nude deepfakes of women and girls without their consent. The landmark lawsuit, announced at a press conference by City Attorney David Chiu, says that the targeted websites were collectively visited over 200 million times in the first six months of 2024 alone.

The offending websites allow users to upload images of real, fully clothed people, which are then digitally “undressed” with AI tools that simulate nudity. One of these websites, which wasn’t identified within the complaint, reportedly advertises: “Imagine wasting time taking her out on dates, when you can just use [the redacted website] to get her nudes.”

I wouldn't be surprised if those whom sued the deepfake website, did it because they got their barely naked micro-bikini beach dance TikTok video deepfaked...

Let's face it: that two square centimeters fabric makes all the difference.

That'll bring life back to downtown ghost town SF.

That's not what they are. You could upload a pic of your grandma and remove all of her clothes in a single click.

One of the legal grounds they are using is California's 'unfair competition' laws, so you may be correct.

Undressing without consent, especially kids (as the article says "women and girls"), is something we should all be against in a normal world.

But of course, we ain't all normal, so you can smell the usual divisive weird white rage brewing about it, which will likely lead to more AVS laws and such since the industry won't collectively get its shit together on its own anymore.

They've already decided that it's just attention whore OF girls and not kids and other non consenting people even though there have been dozens of articles about it.

The article only says that undress apps 'are often used' in that way. The lawsuit appears to have simply picked the most popular undress sites.

We can all agree that undressing kids or sharing undressed images is wrong, but this seems like an attempt to close down all undress tools, no matter what safeguards they have in place.

In any case, I was posting the article mainly because of the importance of an American court attempting to sue overseas based sites.

Not sure what 'white rage' has got to do with this. In a 'Data For Progress' poll taken earlier this year that measured attitudes in the USA towards a proposed anti-deepfake porn law, it found that 72% of white respondents strongly supported the bill, whereas only 56% of black people did, and 52% of Hispanics. This bill (the DEFIANCE act) only gave victims the right to sue deepfake porn sites, it didn't actually make deepfake porn illegal, or ban undress apps.

What is your view on mentally undressing a person? Do you consider that wrong? What about drawing a nude in your home of your neighbour without her consent?

You're correct that "we're not normal". There was a thread here recently asking about advertising on a gore site that features kids being beaten into comas, naked women having their heads stamped on by love rivals etc, and not a single person raised the slightest objection (except myself).

There was another thread not so long ago about whether the minimum age for porn should be raised to 21, and all the good people here were competing with each other to say what a great idea it was. The saint who proclaimed it the loudest promotes the 18 teen porn site 'Legal This Week' on his profile. You can literally smell these kind of pornographers here.

Is it really normal to make a living from porn, and to take the attitude that some incel geek on his computer making a fake nude image of his neighbour to fap to, is committing something akin to rape?

You don't publish your personal fantasy stash on websites that end up in court.
