Meta Promoted AI Deepfake Nudification of Politicians in Ad Campaign

WIRED reports Meta ran a 32‑ad campaign for Kromix, an AI image tool that can create nonconsensual deepfake porn of women, including politicians; one ad depicted a lookalike of a prominent US female politician in a porn scene, and Apple removed the app from the App Store after WIRED’s inquiry. The ads targeted men, ran for short periods, and Meta says its automated review system flags violations, though critics say enforcement is weak as nudify apps persist. The piece situates these ads within broader concerns about deepfakes, platform safety, and Meta’s ad‑policing practices.

Minnesota Nudify Ban Goes Live as xAI's Bid to Block It Fails

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.
