The earliest arrests under the Take It Down Act (TIDA) suggest that cops don’t have to work too hard to identify people illegally posting and selling nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes of women online.
Key facts
- Those companies appear to be violating TIDA, the FTC warned, and need to implement “a process through which victims can request the removal of nonconsensual intimate images appearing on their platforms” within 48 hours or risk “civil penalties of up to $53,088 per violation
- Shannon is accused of publishing approximately 360 AI-generated albums that have been viewed more than 2 million times, featuring approximately 90 women, primarily political figures, actresses
- He allegedly posted 113 albums viewed nearly a million times featuring AI-generated sexualized images and videos of approximately 50 women
- One suspect accused of violating TIDA was 20-year-old Arturo Hernandez
Summary
Last week, the FBI arrested two men after visiting porn websites and clicking on hashtags like #AI or video titles like “AI_tits” or “Ass_AI.” One suspect accused of violating TIDA was 20-year-old Arturo Hernandez. Geo-location data helped cops identify Hernandez as a suspect. While sexualized deepfakes of celebrities and politicians may be easiest to spot in the wild, cops also sought evidence tying Hernandez to AI content depicting people he knew.
