More scammers and blackmailers are creating deepfakes from people’s social media photos, the FBI warn. In a disturbing trend, criminals are using people’s images to put them into compromising videos and on porn sites in order to extort money from them.

The extortionists (sometimes called sextortionists) then threaten their victims with leaking the images and videos into the public space unless they pay them. Typically they obtain the victim’s photos through social media and then feed them into deepfake AI software to make fake videos and images.

“In the coming weeks we’ll put up a web form people can use to submit these requests to us,” said Amit Singhal, the senior vice president in charge of Google Search in the company’s blog.

What caused Google suddenly take responsibility for its search results and does this mean Google’s becoming more lenient towards photo take-down requests?
