TL;DR Summary
San Francisco Attorney General David Chiu sent cease-and-desist letters to Apple and Google demanding the removal of 13 nudification apps that enable non-consensual explicit imagery, arguing they violate California deepfake laws. Google said several flagged apps were suspended; Apple did not respond. The move highlights ongoing debates over how app stores police harmful AI tools and profiteering from platform fees, with broader questions tied to related Grok/CSAM concerns.
