\n\tElon Musk<\/strong>\u2019s social media platform X has restored searches for Taylor Swift<\/a> after temporarily blocking users from seeing some results as pornographic deepfake images of the singer circulated online.<\/p>\n

\n\tSearches for the singer\u2019s name on the site Tuesday turned up a list of tweets as normal.<\/p>\n

\n\tA day earlier, the same search resulted in an error message<\/a> and a prompt for users to retry their search, which added, \u201cDon\u2019t fret \u2014 it\u2019s not your fault.\u201d Users, however, had been able to get around the block by putting quote marks around her name.<\/p>\n

\n\tSexually explicit and abusive fake images of Swift began circulating widely last week on X, formerly known as Twitter, making her the most famous victim of a scourge that tech platforms and anti-abuse groups have struggled to fix.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSearch 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,\u201d Joe Benarroch, head of business operations at X, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier, he said the company had taken \u201ctemporary action\u201d to stop the searches and that it was \u201cdone with an abundance of caution\u201d as it prioritized safety<\/p>\n

\n\tAt least one search term \u2014 Taylor Swift AI \u2014 was still apparently blocked. Unlike more conventional doctored images that have troubled celebrities in the past, the Swift images appear to have been created using an artificial intelligence image-generator that can instantly create new images from a written prompt.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the images began spreading online, the singer\u2019s devoted fanbase of \u201cSwifties\u201d quickly mobilized, launching a counteroffensive on X and a #ProtectTaylorSwift hashtag to flood it with more positive images of the pop star. Some said they were reporting accounts that were sharing the deepfakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
