San Francisco Orders Apple and Google to Pull AI Nudify Apps from Their Stores
Ars Technica·Saturday, 18 July 2026
San Francisco has ordered Apple and Google to remove so-called nudify apps — AI tools that generate fake nude images of people — from their app stores. Estimates suggest both companies likely made millions in fees from these apps. The city's attorney general is pushing back on the platforms profiting from this technology.
Why It Matters
Nudify apps have been used to harass and humiliate people, including minors, and this order could set a precedent for how app stores globally handle harmful AI-generated content.
