Minnesota Nudify Ban Goes Live as xAI's Bid to Block It Fails
TL;DR
A federal judge declined to block Minnesota’s new law banning apps and websites that generate nonconsensual intimate imagery, allowing the measure to take effect. xAI’s broader lawsuit continues, with a hearing set for August 19 to decide if a preliminary injunction should be issued. The law also allows fines of up to $500,000 for each user-generated nonconsensual image, and defines “nudified” content as altered material that could be mistaken for the real person.
