Grateful to @_KarenHao for sensitively reporting my discovery of this deepfake app that makes non-consensual faceswapping into pornographic footage disturbingly accessible.
We knew this was coming, but it didn't make discovering it any less shocking.

This app mirrors the Telegram bot I discovered last year that had over 100k users. 67% stated they were using it to 'strip' images of women they knew in real life.
The more accessible the tool, the more its harm scales and affects private individuals.

Today, intimate image abuse targeting women remains the most common malicious use of deepfakes by a wide margin.
Yet far too often do we see it neglected in relation to other malicious uses that do need addressing, but represent a tiny fraction of present-day harm in comparison.
