Despite Twitter’s policies against misleading media and non-consensual nudity, digitally altered X-rated imagery of popular TikTok creators and celebrities has cropped up on the platform, according to an NBC report. Twitter searches for TikTok creators Addison Rae Easterling, Charli D’Amelio, and Bella Poarch revealed sexually explicit deepfakes, or manipulated videos or images where a person’s face is superimposed on someone else’s body. A deep fake of Easterling has been viewed more than 21 million times, and the thread featured further explicit content of the deepfake.
The anonymous user behind the account told the outlet that they later deleted the tweet after a blowback. The outlet claimed to have discovered at least nine accounts that circulate pornographic deepfakes, six of which were later suspended, and some featured explicit content using Poarch’s likeness. This year, actresses Emma Roberts and Scarlett Johansson were the stars of a sexually suggestive advert for deepfake software, which was later removed by Facebook.
