San Francisco Orders Apple and Google to Remove Nudify Apps From App Stores

San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has instructed Apple and Google to remove dozens of "nudify" apps from the App Store and Google Play. His office warned that both companies could face civil penalties for violating California law, according to letters reviewed by TechCrunch. These apps use AI to digitally alter photographs, depicting clothed subjects as nude, and are marketed through both stores with payments processed by Apple and Google.
