Australia Blocks AI Nudify Sites Over Child Exploitation Fears

Australian internet users are now blocked from accessing several artificial intelligence websites that generated child sexual exploitation material. The country's internet regulator announced that three "nudify" sites ceased operations in Australia following official warnings and enforcement actions. These platforms were reportedly receiving approximately 100,000 visits per month from within Australia.

The eSafety Commissioner stated that these "nudify" services, capable of making real people appear naked using AI, have had a profoundly negative impact, particularly in Australian schools. Enforcement action was taken in September due to the sites' failure to implement safeguards and their marketing of features facilitating the creation of explicit imagery, including those targeting minors.
