Apple has taken action against three apps on its App Store after they were found to be advertising capabilities to create AI-generated pornographic images. These apps, which were misleadingly described as “art generators,” actually offered features that could simulate nude images of individuals without their consent. This function has the potential to be misused for harassment or blackmail.

The issue was highlighted by 404 Media, which reported to Apple about these apps advertising on Instagram and adult websites with promises to “Undress any girl for free.” Despite the capabilities being hidden, some apps also featured face swap technology for adult content. Apple struggled initially to locate these problematic apps until specific links and advertisements were provided by 404 Media.

These apps had been available on the App Store since as early as 2022, and appeared innocent enough to both Apple and Google, escaping scrutiny by being listed on their respective platforms. Even after the discovery, there was a delay in their removal; the apps were allowed to remain available as long as they ceased their inappropriate advertising. However, the oversight continued until Google eventually removed one from the Play Store earlier this year for failing to comply with these conditions.

This incident comes at a sensitive time for Apple as it prepares to announce significant AI enhancements to iOS 18 and Siri at the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. The company is making efforts to maintain a clean corporate image, which includes licensing content legally for AI training amidst growing concerns over copyright issues in the industry. This situation poses a challenge to Apple’s efforts to keep its reputation untarnished in the evolving AI landscape.

Alabama has strengthened its child pornography laws by including AI-generated deepfake images, a response to a distressing cyberbullying incident involving deepfakes at a local middle school. Governor Kay Ivey emphasized the importance of adapting legislation to safeguard children against emerging digital threats.

In a significant legislative move, Governor Kay Ivey of Alabama signed a new bill on Tuesday that broadens the state’s child pornography laws to prohibit the creation of deepfake images using artificial intelligence. This bill, known as HB168, was prompted by a cyberbullying case at Demopolis Middle School where deepfake technology was maliciously used.

During a speech, Governor Ivey expressed her commitment to ensuring that technological advancements do not compromise public safety, particularly the safety of young individuals. “As we navigate this rapidly changing world, safeguarding our children becomes paramount, and this legislation is a step in that direction,” she remarked.

The Alabama Child Protection Act of 2024 was crafted by State Senator April Weaver and Representative Matt Woods in response to an incident where images of six female students were digitally manipulated to appear in inappropriate contexts, causing considerable distress. This incident came to light at a school board meeting in December and has since been under investigation by local law enforcement and federal agents.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall lauded the new law as a critical measure in combating child exploitation. “Alabama is setting a precedent with this strict stance against AI-generated child exploitation material. Our state demonstrates unequivocal intolerance towards such abuses,” Marshall stated. He also noted that the real challenge lies ahead in effectively implementing this law to deter future violations and support ongoing enforcement efforts.

How long have you been in the adult business, especially the camming industry?

I have been around in the industry for almost 8 years now, I first went on Chaturbate as a viewer in October 2016 and it took me almost a year to make a Twitter page to follow the people I watched and made bios for. After I made that I started to grow my page to try and reach anyone who was looking for NSFW graphics for their cam or premium content sites. I dived into the NSFW side of the industry personally around 1 year ago for a few reasons, 1. I have an exhibitionist streak in me and 2. I wanted to further understand what things models and content creators would find helpful that I could provide as part of my service.

How did you come up with the idea to make a bio for models?

I was friends with a cam model and she asked me to be a moderator in her room, after a while she mentioned that she would love a bio like the big rooms had, I offered to try and make something for her and then she put it up on her page with my name at the bottom, as she grew a lot of models would then ask her if I made them and if they could have one. There was a couple of bio designers around at that time but I had a steady stream of models asking me for them, I made around 150 bios for free before a model couple said “please get verified so we can send you some tokens for this” (shout out to Jack and Jackie) so I did that and they told me I should be charging a little for the time I was putting into the bios.

Do you have competition?

As for competition, there are a few other designers out there but I don’t see them as competition, I often refer models to one designer if it’s something I think he can do better. The main “competition” is the “free bio” sites, many models see the word free and don’t realise that the bios are not truly free, they are covered in affiliate links that don’t belong to the model but are made to look as if they are, over a few months of the model having a bio with those links on, they could have potentially lost thousands of dollars in affiliate income, I teach models how to find their personal affiliate links and add them to their bios so they can make that income from their viewers.

How many cam sites are you covering at this moment? Are you planning to grow the number of camsites?

I’m currently offering bios for Chaturbate, Camsoda, Stripchat and Niteflirt. I think if another cam site started getting lots of traffic and I was asked to make a bio for it, I’d make bios available for them. I’m always happy to expand but Chaturbate, Camsoda and Stripchat seem to dominate the camming space.

Do you track the model’s performance after they work with you? 

I don’t track any performance data but I get a lot of feedback from models explaining that by having fanclubs in their bio that people can join and have their name placed into, they make more tokens. Viewers love being a part of a club on CB and you’ll see many of the big rooms I have made bios for will have multiple clubs that viewers can join. It’s also very handy for the models having all their premium sites like (Onlyfans, Fansly etc) easily reached by their viewers. I always add these in 2 places within the bio so they can’t be missed.

What do you need from a model to make a nice bio?

To make a nice bio for a model I just need to know what kind of theme they would like, what they would like to tell their viewers and what they most want to advertise. I also often make my own designs in my spare time with the most popular sections added and I put them up for sale. These are good for people who either don’t know what kind of style they want to go for or for people who just like my work and the designs I make. These are also cheaper as it cuts out a lot of the back and forth of the design process, I can just come up with an idea and make it a reality and then customise it with the models info.

How many models have you covered so far? If you are asked to do an analysis, what is the general model type?

I’ve made a little over 1000 bios to date and I hope to make 1000 more as this is a passion of mine. There is no general model type that comes to me for a custom bio, I’ve made them for models fresh to the industry and for models with 40+ years experience. I’ve made them for models from all around the world, the beauty of the camming world is the diversity of the people within it.
