Google cracks down on nude deepfakes, no more ads for AI porn generators

Google has updated its advertising policy to ban ads promoting deepfake pornography creation services, including tools and instructional content on creating non-consensual nude images using AI. This move aims to address the growing issue of AI-generated explicit content shared without consent, tightening restrictions on sexually explicit ads.

The policy change follows incidents like the widespread sharing of AI-doctored nudes of celebrities and highlights the emotional and reputational damage caused by such content. Google's stringent enforcement includes permanent bans for violators, reflecting a broader tech industry effort to curb the misuse of AI in generating non-consensual explicit imagery.
