Taylor searches restored on Elon Musk’s X after brief blockage over AI deepfakes

Swifties can again find Taylor Swift-related information on billionaire Elon Musk-owned X, after the social media network momentarily restricted searches for the American singer following outrage over her explicit AI images.

The social media site, formerly known as Twitter, restricted Taylor Swift (34) searches as a temporary measure to address a flood of AI-generated deepfake images that went viral across X, as well as other social media platforms.

“Search has been re-enabled and we will continue to be vigilant for any attempt to spread this content and will remove it if we find it,” Joe Benarroch, the head of business operations at X, stated in a statement, as per The Hill.

Earlier when X users tried to search for her name, they got an error notice.

Swift has become the focus of individuals who shared sexually graphic photos generated by artificial intelligence (AI). The issue has alarmed US legislators and others who have battled to control burgeoning AI technologies and the potential consequences ahead of the the 2024 presidential election.
