Friends, from the world of AI: San Francisco calls for nudify apps to be removed from the App Store and Google Play

Friends, I’d like to share a story from the worlds of AI and digital security.

San Francisco has demanded that Apple and Google remove dozens of nudify apps from their stores. These tools allow people to be “stripped” in photos and generate intimate deepfakes without consent.

The city argues that the companies had been warned in advance, yet continued to host these services and profit from them. They now face civil penalties for violating the law.

Why it matters: platforms cannot remain mere intermediaries when their services help enable digital abuse.

Do you think the App Store and Google Play should moderate such apps more strictly?
