TL;DR
- Apple and Google say they ban nudify apps, but a new report shows they’re still helping users find them.
- Apple reportedly listed 18 apps and Google Play had 20, with a combined 483 million downloads and $122 million in revenue.
- Some of these apps are said to be rated “E,” meaning even kids can download them.
Apple and Google are supposed to be cracking down on harmful apps. However, a new report suggests they are still helping users find one of the most controversial types called “nudify” apps.
A new report from the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) says both Apple and Google are steering users toward apps that use AI to create fake nude images, even though their policies clearly ban this kind of content (via Bloomberg). TTP, a research arm of the nonprofit Campaign for Accountability, previously shed light on the proliferation of this type of apps earlier this year.
