Twitter is the latest site to crack down on “deepfakes,” porn videos that superimpose celebrities’ faces onto porn stars’ bodies. Twitter clarified its position by explaining that deepfakes violates its policy against posting “intimate photos or videos of someone that were produced or distributed without their consent,” and will suspend accounts that violate the policy. Deepfakes is a phenomenon that started on Reddit and quickly spread to places like 4chan and GIF-sharing site Gfycat.
Since Pornhub recently banned deepfakes, celebrity porn creators have been looking for new places to showcase their scandalous wares. It only took a day before Twitter shut down deepfakes on its site, even though the legality of fake celebrity porn is still unclear. While the porn raises concerns about non-consensual posting of sexual images, it’s ultimately up to websites to decide how they want to handle it.
