Fans and lawmakers express outrage as sexually explicit deepfake images of Taylor Swift, likely generated by AI, flood social media platforms. Shared on X, one image amassed 47 million views before suspension. Despite efforts to remove them, the images persisted on various platforms, prompting Swift's fans to rally against the disturbing content. Cybersecurity firm Reality Defender attributes the creation to widely accessible AI-driven technology. With concerns growing about the rising impact of deepfakes, legislators advocate for stronger regulations. Representative Joe Morelle deems the situation "appalling," while Senator Mark Warner calls it a "deplorable situation," renewing the push for federal action against non-consensual deepfake sharing.
