Fake graphic images of the singer appeared on the site earlier this week. Posts and accounts sharing the fake images were flagged by her fans, who populated the platform with real images and videos of her, using the words “protect Taylor Swift”. The issue caught the attention of the White House, who on Friday called the spread of the AI-generated photos “alarming”. It is unclear when X began blocking searches for Swift on the site, or whether the site has blocked searches for other public figures or terms in the past. How do we prevent deepfake ?
