San Francisco aims to take down AI undressing websites in new lawsuit

San Francisco's City Attorney aims to take down 16 AI undressing sites in a new lawsuit.

: San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has announced a legal action to shut down 16 prominent AI undressing websites. These sites, which have amassed over 200 million visits in six months, are accused of violating federal and state laws including those on revenge and child pornography. The lawsuit identifies several companies and individuals involved in operating these sites, highlighting serious concerns about their impacts on women and children.

San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu has initiated a lawsuit aiming to shut down 16 of the most popular AI undressing websites. Announcing this at a press conference, Chiu accused these sites of violating both federal laws on revenge, deepfake, and child pornography, as well as California's unfair competition law, citing extensive harm to consumers.

The lawsuit names 50 defendants, including companies like Sol Ecom, Briver, and Itai Tech Ltd., as well as an individual, Augustin Gribinets of Estonia. These defendants are accused of operating sites that undress images of women and children without consent, leading to bullying, threats, and humiliation.

The complaint points to a specific incident involving fake nude images of 16 eighth-grade students at a California middle school, reflecting the broader distressing trend. Deepfake technology, a major legal concern, has led to the NO FAKES Act introduced by U.S. senators to protect individuals from unauthorized AI recreations of their voice, face, or body.
