A new study quantifies how major platforms are becoming distribution channels for image-based sexual abuse: YouTube alone drove 1.82 million visits to nudify services in four months, with X contributing 1.3 million. The finding exposes a gap between platform policy—all major networks prohibit non-consensual intimate imagery—and enforcement. These services operate openly, monetize through ads and subscriptions, and benefit from algorithmic amplification and search indexing that platforms have failed to disable. The result collapses the distance between mainstream social media and abuse infrastructure, making it easier for bad actors to find and use these tools while victims have limited recourse.
