San Francisco targets Apple and Google’s app-store economics over AI ‘nudify’ tools

San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu sent cease-and-desist notices demanding that Apple and Google remove 13 face-swapping apps capable of producing nonconsensual intimate imagery and sever commercial relationships with their developers. Chiu alleges the platforms likely earned millions in fees. Google told WIRED that it removed the five Android apps identified and has suspended hundreds of policy-violating apps; Apple had not commented before publication.
