In January, Motherboard reported on a community devoted to deepfakes, fake porn videos of celebrities created with a machine learning algorithm. Less than a week later, several websites where these images were posted started banning deepfakes from their platforms.
One of the most popular platforms for hosting these images, Gfycat, told Motherboard at the time that deepfakes violated its terms of service because they were “objectionable,” and that it was “actively removing this content.”
