AI 'Nudify' Apps Are Illegal — What to Do If You See One
Apps that use AI to fake nude photos of real people are now illegal in most US states. Here's what's actually happening and how to respond.
What to actually do
- NCMEC Take It Down can scrub nude images of minors from major platforms — even AI-made ones
- Tell a parent and report to school, even if the victim isn't you
- Don't open the image to 'check' — opening it can cache it on your device
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: These apps exist, but the law and platforms are catching up fast. Your job is to refuse to spread them and tell an adult.
