When users on X started asking Grok to generate explicit images of real women and girls without their consent, Morgpie
@bigguswombus watched the harassment spiral in real time.
As a Twitch streamer, OnlyFans creator, and porn industry veteran, she was used to people harassing her with her own nudes, but Grok’s “undressing” trend unsettled her.
“There’s a big difference between me, in the comfort of my own home, within my own boundaries, producing content that I enjoy — and somebody else taking these things and making content that I didn’t consent to be in,” she said.
Meanwhile, cosplay creator Zander
@zander_smalls had just graduated with a degree in software engineering. While he interviewed for tech jobs, his girlfriend approached him for help. She was also being harassed with deepfake porn, even though she exclusively makes SFW content. Zander helped her file takedown demands, and then helped her friends. Requests for help poured in, inspiring Zander to work on a takedown tool that could work at scale. He knew he couldn’t do it alone, so he posted about it on his Close Friends story.
Morgpie responded. Together, they launched
@fanlockcom : a tool that scans the internet for leaked and deepfaked content, and files takedown notices before the nonconsensual images can spread online. But their work is far from done. There are technical limitations that make it difficult to completely erase nonconsensual deepfakes from the internet.
