Google moves deepfake porn sites lower in its search rankings

Even though the websites have been lowered in rankings, they still appear in search results. And that’s led some victims’ advocates to say Google’s changes are too little too late. — Bloomberg

Google is making it harder for users of its search engine to find websites that host AI-generated deepfake pornography after months of lobbying by victims and advocates of tighter controls.

The company is lowering such content in search rankings, a spokesperson said, adding Google is “continuing to decrease the visibility of involuntary synthetic pornography in search and develop more safeguards as this space evolves”.
