Taylor Swift: Battling Deepfake Violence Through Search Query Blocks

X is blocking search queries related to American singer Taylor Swift after explicit and violent AI-generated images of her were shared on its platform as well as other social media platforms such as Meta’s Facebook. Search queries on X including ‘Taylor Swift’ and ‘Taylor Swift AI’ resulted in a blank error page that suggested users retry their search. On January 26, X’s Safety Team posted that it had a zero tolerance policy towards non-consensual nudity and that it was working to remove images and take action against the makers. Meanwhile, fans known as “Swifties” rushed to her support and filled common search terms and hashtags with real photos of the musician’s happier moments in order to bury any non-consensual images.
