It’s a family tradition to protect women, girls, and children. Protect Taylor Swift and everyone subjected to gender-based abuse including AI-generated non-consensual explicit

Five hours after the previous post here stating that the perpetration and dissemination of deepfake AI Taylor Swift explicit fake images amount to crimes and advising legal action on the part of Taylor Swift and her family and friends, Swifties fandom took the responsibility of “cleansing” the X/Twitter timeline with Protect-Taylor- Swift posts, which in less than five hours trended worldwide in the top two trending topics.

Ten hours after the previous post here, Taylor Swift’s team outlined their courses of action against those who made and shared these offensive deepfake photos, in a statement reported in mainstream news outlets, embedded below.
And now, atm: Protect Taylor Swift is still trending
Thank you: Team Taylor Swift. Please bring this forward: For everyone who has ever had to experience gender-based offenses, even high school girls violated by deepfake perversions from their peers and their own classmates,
and all women subjected to physical, visual, verbal abuse, even uncalled-for gender-based insults
(you’d be “surprised” — no matter how far you’ve reached in your life thru hard work, no matter how many indigent sectors you’ve provided services to,
it will not be recognized by certain men who will subject you to gender-based abuse even if you’re just walking by (when you’re not doing anything wrong, just minding your own business walking by, yung wala ka namang ginagawang masama naglalakad ka lang oblivious to their existence: Protect everyone from gender-based abuse.)

“Taylor Swift is ‘furious’ about the AI images circulating online and is considering legal action against the sick deepfake porn site hosting them, DailyMail.com can reveal.
“The singer is the latest target of the website, that flouts state porn laws and continues to outrun cybercrime squads.
“This week, dozens of graphic images were uploaded to Celeb Jihad, that show Swift in a series of sexual acts while dressed in Kansas City Chief memorabilia and in the stadium.
“A source close to Swift said on Thursday: ‘Whether or not legal action will be taken is being decided but there is one thing that is clear: these fake AI generated images are abusive, offensive, exploitative, and done without Taylor’s consent and/or knowledge.
“’The Twitter account that posted them does not exist anymore. It is shocking that the social media platform even let them be up to begin with.
“ ‘These images must be removed from everywhere they exist and should not be promoted by anyone.
“ ‘Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans obviously.
“ ‘They have the right to be, and every woman should be.
“ ‘The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this and laws must be enacted.’
“The abhorrent sites hide in plain sight, seemingly cloaked by proxy IP addresses.

“There are mounting calls for the website to be taken down and for its operators to be criminally investigated.
“On Thursday morning, X started suspending accounts that had re-shared some – but others quickly emerged in their place. There are also reposts of the images on Instagram, Reddit and 4Chan.
“Swift is yet to comment on the site or the spread of the images but her loyal and distressed fans have waged war.

“Nonconsensual deepfake pornography is illegal in Texas, Minnesota, New York, Virginial, Hawaii and Georgia. In Illinois and California, victims can sue the creators of the pornography in court for defamation.

“Explicit AI-generated material that overwhelmingly harms women and children and is booming online at an unprecedented rate.
“Desperate for solutions, affected families are pushing lawmakers to implement robust safeguards for victims whose images are manipulated using new AI models, or the plethora of apps and websites that openly advertise their services.
“Advocates and some legal experts are also calling for federal regulation that can provide uniform protections across the country and send a strong message to current and would-be perpetrators.

“Researchers have been sounding the alarm this year on the explosion of AI-generated child sexual abuse material using depictions of real victims or virtual characters.
“In June 2023, the FBI warned it was continuing to receive reports from victims, both minors and adults, whose photos or videos were used to create explicit content that was shared online.” From Daily Mail UK
