In response to the proliferation of tools like Clothoff, a significant societal and legal backlash is taking shape, demanding greater accountability for the creators and users of deepfake technology. Legislators globally are now scrambling to update existing statutes or draft new ones specifically criminalizing the creation and distribution of non-consensual synthetic pornography. This legislative push is complemented by mounting public pressure on tech platforms—including social media networks, web hosting services, and payment processors—to deny services to such applications and actively remove the abusive content they generate. This multi-front battle highlights a growing consensus that technological neutrality is not a defensible stance when a tool’s primary application is so intrinsically tied to harassment and the violation of individual dignity.
