When I've talked to deepfake victims, both public figures and everyday people, I've heard horror stories about police laughing them out the door, girls getting expelled for reporting their classmates, and lawyers advising them that suing would just make it worse.  This is abuse culture in action.

xAI's Grok says “lapses in safeguards” led it to create sexualized images of people, including minors, in response to X user prompts; X took some images down

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has created sexualized images of people including minors …

This stuff is against federal law, but guess who's in charge of enforcing that right now?  Trump's FTC.  Guess who Trump praised out loud while signing the law that made this a federal crime?  Former X CEO Linda Yaccarino.  It's a big club and victims aren't in it.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump's Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
