For the study, the researchers uploaded 50 AI-generated nude images to X (formerly Twitter) and reported half of them under X’s “non-consensual nudity” reporting mechanism and half under its “copyright infringement” mechanism. All the images reported as copyright violations were removed within 25 hours, and the accounts that posted them received temporary suspensions. All images reported as non-consensual nudity were not removed from the site even after three weeks, and the accounts that posted them faced no consequences nor received any notifications from X. The researchers declined to comment for this story until their study has gone through the peer review process.
