Deepfake: X implements restrictions on Taylor Swift searches amidst deep-fake image controversy
Last week, explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift caused uproar on X (formerly Twitter), leading to the platform blocking searches for 'Taylor Swift' temporarily. The Verge reported that searches for her name yielded a message with no images, later confirmed by Times of India-Gadgets Now. Joe Benarroch from X mentioned the move prioritizes safety. Politicians, including Microsoft's Satya Nadella, criticized the incident. X plans to hire 100 employees for a new trust and safety office in Austin, responding to concerns about content moderation post-Elon Musk's takeover.
