In a press briefing, the White House expressed deep concern over the surge of fake explicit images featuring Taylor Swift circulating on social media platforms.
The administration highlighted the critical role of social media companies in enforcing their rules to curb the dissemination of misleading content. The concern arose after sexually explicit images falsely attributed to Swift gained widespread traction, with one particularly graphic image reportedly garnering 47 million views on Twitter before the account responsible was suspended.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre urged Congress to take legislative action to address the rise of manipulated content, potentially generated by artificial intelligence.
Jean-Pierre stated that the issue is alarming, and the administration will take action to deal with it. She emphasized the role of social media companies in enforcing their rules to prevent the spread of misinformation and non-consensual, intimate imagery of real people.
The call for legislative action reflects a growing recognition of the need to address challenges posed by the misuse of technology, especially in the realm of misinformation and manipulated content, which disproportionately affects women.
