San Francisco Warns Apple and Google to Stop Profiting From AI Nudify Apps
City Attorney David Chiu said the apps helped create nonconsensual nude images and that Apple and Google likely made millions in fees.
- On Thursday, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu issued legal notices demanding Apple and Google remove 13 'nudify' apps, alleging the tech giants are 'aiding and abetting' the sale of nonconsensual deepfake pornography.
- The Tech Transparency Project previously issued reports in January and April warning of dozens of apps selling deepfake imagery, yet Chiu's office alleges the companies continued processing payments for illegal purchases for almost a year.
- Chiu claims the companies have 'made millions of dollars in fees' from these services, while California law explicitly prohibits 'supporting services' that create deepfake pornography, according to the legal letters.
- Google spokesperson Dan Jackson stated the company suspended 'hundreds' of apps and restricted search terms like 'nudify,' while Apple declined to provide comment on the removal demand.
- The legal letters request that both companies contact San Francisco officials within 28 days, warning that failure to comply could result in civil penalties for violating California's deepfake laws.
