In a shocking turn of events, Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, has taken drastic measures by blocking searches for Taylor Swift on its platform. This move comes in response to sexually explicit deepfake content featuring the pop sensation circulating on the social media giant, amassing over 47 million views.
X's president of business, Joe Benarroch, confirmed the "temporary" action, emphasizing the priority of ensuring user safety. Attempts to search for "Taylor Swift" or "Taylor Swift AI" on X will yield a "Something went wrong" notice, urging users to try loading again, as reported by Business Today.
Deepfakes, AI-generated manipulations of videos and images, have become a growing concern, prompting X to address the issue promptly. The platform declared a zero-tolerance policy against posting Non-Consensual Nudity (NCN) images, actively removing identified content and taking appropriate actions against the responsible accounts.
The crisis caught the attention of the White House, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre expressing alarm during a press briefing. The administration vows to take action against online abuse, stating, "This is very alarming. And so, we're going to do what we can to deal with this issue."
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also weighed in on the deepfake problem, describing it as "alarming and terrible" during an NBC interview. Nadella emphasized the urgency of addressing the issue promptly and highlighted the need for "guardrails" to ensure secure online content creation.
