Many of these companies and figures have pledged to fight against deepfake sexual abuse, but nonetheless maintain financial and professional ties to Musk’s X—running ads on it, posting daily to it, and funding it with hundreds of millions of dollars so it can keep growing. Those ads, posts, and payouts are enabling a massive pile of abusive imagery, one that just keeps growing by the day. Some of this content is technically illegal, but no one is getting punished for it besides the victims, who are overwhelmingly women and girls (in my analysis, I also found that a majority of the victims in public posts on X were women and girls of color). The pile-on has already wreaked havoc in some of their lives, while others may not even know the material is out there. Even those of us whose identities aren’t stolen for these images have to bear witness to yet another global campaign of sexual humiliation.
