- The US Justice Department has taken down two websites that posted fabricated nude images of public figures.
The DOJ invoked the Take It Down Act, a law aimed at revenge porn, to seize control of CFake.com and an affiliated domain. Both sites hosted computer‑generated images that mimicked celebrities without consent. The enforcement action effectively removed the content from public reach.
This marks the first time the anti‑revenge‑porn statute has been applied to AI‑created media. It signals that regulators view synthetic images with the same seriousness as real non‑consensual pornography, potentially expanding legal risk for deep‑fake distributors.
Expect more takedown requests as lawmakers test the law's reach beyond traditional photo‑sharing platforms.
