Sexual images posted online without one's consent have long been a problem starting with

revenge porn. But deep fake and AI technology's ability to manipulate photos and even videos has made things worse.

Even Taylor Swift has been a victim of AI generated sexual images.

Now Google has announced new steps to combat sexually explicit deep fakes in their search results,

but there is no one-size-fits-all solution for this complex problem.

Perez DeVay is a senior writer at Weard who's been reporting on all of this and

were talking about. It is also driven in part by the porn industry, right?

And this is all part of the porn economy now.

You know, porn is generally viewed as more consensual.
