World reacts to disgusting Taylor Swift news

Ever since Taylor Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce, she’s been getting a lot more attention from men who otherwise would not have had any interest in her. Unfortunately, that led to a pretty disgusting situation this week as sexually explicit AI-generated images of the pop star began to circulate on social media, many of which were related to her relationship with Kelce and her newfound Chiefs fandom.

The photos began to circulate on X, the social media platform that was formerly known as Twitter, prompting the platform to remove the posts and temporarily restrict users from searching for things like “Taylor Swift” and “Taylor Swift AI.”

The disgusting incident became such a prominent story that the White House actually addressed it at a recent press conference with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declaring that Joe Biden supports legislation to prevent this from happening. She also called on social media platforms to do a better job of policing their content.

“It is alarming,” Jean-Pierre told reporters. “So while social media companies make their own independent decisions about content management, we believe they have an important role to play in enforcing their own rules to prevent the spread of misinformation and non-consensual intimate imagery.”

All in all, it was pretty horrible and disgusting news, and it generated a lot of conversation on social media.

After abhorrent deepfakes of Taylor Swift, there’s no excuse for inaction. Commonsense steps to safeguard against AI abuses—in my bipartisan legislative framework—can help protect all of us. We’re all at risk. https://t.co/QRAJIfiXBG
