New York Seizes 12 Celebrity Deepfake Websites

Manhattan DA seized 12 deepfake sites that turned ~1,200 people's photos into non-consensual intimate imagery, the largest such seizure.

The New York District Attorney seized 12 websites hosting AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery of roughly 1,200 people, including politicians, actors, athletes, and influencers, calling it the largest seizure of such sites in history. DA Alvin Bragg cited New York's 2023 law criminalizing sexually explicit deepfakes. The action follows federal seizures of two deepfake domains in June and the 2025 shutdown of MrDeepfakes, and precedes a 15-year sentence in the first Take It Down Act conviction.
