Importantly, this took deepfake undressing from a tiny niche to a huge thing:

This means that it's no longer a niche or really exceptional thing, but that harassment of women with this method is now pervasive.

But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

I've thought a lot of things would kill twitter...

But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see...

I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.

FOMO, along with addiction to fake likes from fake friends for fake validation of their fake lives is a powerful mind control technique

how many years have people been saying "DELETE TWITTER ALREADY"

and now that they're being turned into porn, they still won't

How is this gigantic website even legal and still online? In the civilized world, I mean.

It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996...

And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.

But Silicon valley gave a shit ton of money to the Clinton's for the Internet part, and telecoms for the part doing away with monopoly regulations.
