Taylor Swift Deepfakes Images Spark Calls For New Legislation

The images that went viral and were viewed more than millions of times were posted on social media sites like X and Telegram.

X said in a statement that it was removing the images and considering taking action against those responsible.

One Image Got 47 Million Views

The social media platforms were quick to erase the explicit images of Taylor Swift but one picture remained, which garnered 47 million views.

X has removed keywords like “Taylor Swift” and “Taylor Swift AI” to make sure the content is seen.

Congressmen from both parties condemned the spread of pictures and urged appropriate action against those responsible for the appalling act.
