A coalition of 28 advocacy groups, including women’s organizations and tech watchdogs, has sent open letters to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai demanding the removal of X’s Grok from both companies’ app stores. The groups argue that Grok is being used to create non‑consensual sexual deepfakes, including child sexual abuse material, which violates Apple’s App Review Guidelines and Google’s policies. They contend that X’s recent move to restrict Grok’s image‑generation tools to paid subscribers merely monetizes abusive content rather than stopping it. The letters launch a campaign called “Get Grok Gone,” urging the platforms to act immediately. Leer más →

Google announced a partnership with the UK nonprofit StopNCII to expand its defenses against non‑consensual intimate imagery (NCII), commonly known as revenge porn. The collaboration will see Google incorporate StopNCII's hash‑based system, allowing user‑generated digital fingerprints to block unwanted intimate content from appearing in search results. The service protects privacy by never uploading the original image, and it works alongside other platforms already partnered with StopNCII. While the system is not a complete solution, it marks a significant step for Google in reducing the burden on victims of NCII. Leer más →

Google announced a partnership with StopNCII.org to combat the spread of non‑consensual intimate imagery (NCII) by employing hash technology in its search results. Over the coming months, the company will use StopNCII’s image and video hashes—PDQ for photos and MD5 for videos—to identify and block flagged content without storing the original files. While the move follows similar commitments from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Bumble and Microsoft’s integration into Bing, Google has faced criticism for lagging behind peers. Advocates note the new tools still place the removal burden on victims, highlighting ongoing challenges in protecting survivors. Leer más →
