From this website we get a report of how certain deepfake sites are using the login platforms of bigger providers to give easier access. Sites like Google, Apple, and many other heavy hitters are in the mix here, their sign-in infrastructure being used to give scores of people quick access to undress deepfake websites.
Signing up this way gives the user more credibility, before they begin to pay for the ability to play around with images, images no one has given the site any consent to use. The undress sites are portals where AI is used to remove cloths from real photos, making the people in the picture suddenly appear nude…again, without the person in the picture allowing their image to be used and abuses in this way.
Deep fake undress
As the infiltration of the Internet pretty much ran across global culture like a brush fire, that has since really to be extinguished, nude images and video have been slap-dashed across the web. Salacious content of all kinds became pretty much available everywhere for anyone as we began enjoying our digital reach; there came a paradigm shift in not only what we looked at but how we looked at it.
So, nudes on the net, really, is nothing new.
But AI generators, all the rage now, have changed the landscape, giving pretty much anyone access to create their own deep fakes and to exercise an ability to mix and match body parts and faces to Frankenstein proportions. And surely while it seems teen boys have taken to this trend at an alarming rate, bots can also perform the same deepfake function with a few clicks of a mouse for anyone interested. And accessing these deep fake sites through big companies, companies that are supposed to have restrictions in place for just such access, the deep fake trend grows.
Hard to catch, hard to stop
There are many reasons why these deepfake undress sites are hard to legislate against or just call out. Even without the seemingy new problem of the above big tech sign-ins, these deepfake sites have plenty to protect them.
First of all, they are usually part of a wider network and a network that runs in the shadows of the net. Given this, it is harder to find who owns these sites and bring them down, even when a giant company, advocates or legislation is going after them. These deep fake sites also always seem to be under development, the possibility of what their generators can do increasing all the time, making them even harder to pin down. Many of these sites also deal with their own crypto, so it is harder to clamp down on pay companies to follow here.
And the law here is still very sketchy on exactly what can be done and from what country.
When a listing like this declaring “information about various Undress AI technologies and related Adult AI technologies” lies right out in the open after a quick Google search, we might need to question where we have traveled now in trampling over citizen's rights and the reach of our technology.
And how we now seemingly have access to whatever we like, even thru legitimate business portals.
