Google Tackles Deepfakes: Aiming to Reduce Nonconsensual Explicit Content
Nonconsensual Explicit Images Surge on Google Search
Google is facing mounting pressure to address the proliferation of nonconsensual explicit images in its search results. Critics have accused the tech giant of failing to take adequate measures to protect users from this harmful content.
Recent Measures by Google
In response to the ongoing criticism, Google has announced plans to adjust its search engine algorithm to reduce the prevalence of explicit deepfakes. The company aims to filter out nonconsensual content from similar search queries and surface high-quality, non-explicit results.
Data on Nonconsensual Deepfakes
Data suggests that the problem of nonconsensual deepfakes is significant. According to a recent study, 99% of deepfakes target women. This alarming statistic highlights the need for effective measures to combat this form of online abuse.
Continued Criticism
Despite Google's recent efforts, some critics argue that the company is not doing enough to address the issue. They point to the fact that deepfakes continue to circulate on the platform, and that the new measures may not be sufficient to fully protect users.
