Hundreds of explicit deepfake videos featuring female celebrities, actresses, and musicians are being uploaded to the world’s biggest pornography websites every month, new analysis shows. The nonconsensual videos rack up millions of views , and porn companies are still failing to remove them from their websites.
This story originally appeared on WIRED UK .
Up to 1,000 deepfake videos have been uploaded to porn sites every month as they became increasingly popular during 2020, figures from deepfake detection company Sensity show. The videos continue to break away from dedicated deepfake pornography communities and into the mainstream.
Deepfake videos hosted on three of the biggest porn websites, XVideos, Xnxx, and xHamster, have been viewed millions of times. The videos are surrounded by ads, helping to make money for the sites. XVideos and Xnxx, which are both owned by the same Czech holding company, are the number one and three biggest porn websites in the world and rank in the top 10 biggest sites across the entire web. They each have, or exceed, as many visitors as Wikipedia, Amazon, and Reddit.
One 30-second video, which appears on all three of the above sites and uses actress Emma Watson’s face, has been viewed more than 23 million times—being watched 13 million times on Xnxx. Other deepfake videos, which have hundreds of thousands or millions of views, include celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Indian actress Anushka Shetty. Many of the celebrities have continuously been the targets of deepfakes since they first emerged in 2018.
“The attitude of these websites is that they don't really consider this a problem,” says Giorgio Patrini, CEO and chief scientist at Sensity, which was until recently called DeepTrace. Deepfake pornography videos are widely considered to target, harm, and humiliate the women that are placed at their center. Patrini adds that Sensity has increasingly seen deepfakes being made for other people in the public realm, such as Instagram, Twitch and YouTube influencers, and he worries the advancement of deepfake tech will inevitably see members of the public targeted.
“Until there is a strong reason for [porn websites] to try to take them down and to filter them, I strongly believe nothing is going to happen,” Patrini says. “People will still be free to upload this type of material without any consequences to these websites that are viewed by hundreds of millions of people”.
Many of the videos are hiding in plain sight—they’re uploaded to be watched, after all. Some videos include “fake” or “deepfake” in their titles and are tagged as being a deepfake. For instance, tag pages on XVideos and Xnxx list hundreds of the videos.
However, the full scale of the problem on porn websites is unknown. There will probably never be a true picture of how many of these videos are created without people’s permission.
Despite repeated attempts to contact representatives of XVideos and Xnxx, the owners did not answer requests for comment on their attitudes and policies towards deepfakes.
Alex Hawkins, VP of xHamster, says the company doesn’t have a specific policy for deepfakes but treats them “like any other nonconsensual content.” Hawkins says that the company’s moderation process involves multiple different steps, and it will remove videos if people’s images are used without permission.
“We absolutely understand the concern around deepfakes, so we make it easy for it to be removed,” Hawkins says. “Content uploaded without necessary permission being obtained is in violation of our Terms of Use and will be removed once identified.” Hawkins adds that the dozens of videos appearing as deepfakes on xHamster, which were highlighted by WIRED, have been passed onto its moderation team to be reviewed.
Deepfake upload figures seen by WIRED did not include Pornhub, which is the second-biggest porn website and despite banning deepfakes in 2018 still has problems with the videos .
“There has to be some kind of thinking about what we do about this when women are embarrassed and humiliated and demeaned in this way on the internet, and it really is like a question about privacy and security,” says Nina Schick, a political broadcaster and the author of Deepfakes and the Infocalypse .
Since the first deepfakes emerged from Reddit in early 2018, the underlying artificial intelligence technology needed to make them has advanced. It’s getting cheaper and easier for people to make deepfake videos. In one recent example , a security researcher using open-source software and spending less than $100 was able to create video and audio of Tom Hanks.
The tech advancements have raised fears that deepfakes will be used to manipulate political conversations. While there were some early examples of this happening, the threat has largely failed to materialize. However, deepfake porn, where the technology was first invented, has flourished. Hollywood actress Kristen Bell said she was “shocked” when she first found out deepfakes were made using her image. “‘Even if it’s labelled as, ‘Oh, this is not actually her,’ it’s hard to think about that. I’m being exploited,” she told Vox in June.
The amount of deepfakes online is growing exponentially. A report from Sensity released last year found 14,678 deepfake videos online in July 2019—96 percent of these were porn and almost all are focused on women. By June this year the amount of deepfakes had climbed to 49,081.
The majority of deepfake porn is found on, and created by, specific communities. The top four deepfake porn websites received more than 134 million views last year, Sensity’s 2019 analysis shows. One deepfake porn website is full of videos featuring celebrities and contains videos of Indian actresses that have been watched millions of times. Some videos state they were requested, while their creators say they can be paid in bitcoin.
“Some of this technology is improving so fast, because there's so much energy and drive, unfortunately, from the creators’ side,” Patrini says. “I think we're going to be seeing it applied very soon with much larger intent to private individuals.” He believes when the technology is easy for anyone to use there will be a “tipping point” when lawmakers will become aware of the problems.
Clare McGlynn, a professor at the Durham Law School who specializes in pornography regulations and sexual abuse images, agrees. “What this shows is the looming problem that is going to come for non-celebrities,” she says. “This is a serious issue for celebrities and others in the public eye. But my longstanding concern, speaking to survivors who are not celebrities, is the risk of what is coming down the line.”
At the moment, the legal options for people featured in deepfake videos has not kept up with the technology. In fact, it wasn’t ever prepared for the impact of AI-generated porn. “If a pornographic picture or video of you goes up online, your legal options for taking it down vary wildly,” says Aislinn O'Connell, a law lecturer from Royal Holloway University in London.
People can pursue nonconsensual uploads for defamation, under human rights laws, copyright complaints, and other forms. However, most of these processes are onerous, resource-intensive and most often don’t apply to deepfakes. “We need more and better solutions now,” O'Connell says.
Some deepfake laws have been passed in US states, but these largely focus on politics and ignore the impact that deepfakes are already having on people’s lives. In the UK the Law Commission is conducting a review into the sharing of intimate images online, which includes deepfakes, but it is expected to take years until any changes can be made. O'Connell proposes that England adopts image rights laws so people can properly protect themselves.
However, while lawmakers fail to deal with the problem, the technology is set to become cheaper and easier for all to use. “I see the evolution of deepfakes in the pornographic space as actually the harbinger of the bigger civil liberties issues that are going to emerge,” Schick says.
“This technology is out there, and it is evolving at a rate that is much faster than society can keep up with,” she adds. “We are not ready for the age of synthetic media, where even video becomes something that almost anybody can corrupt.” To fight this, Schick says, multiple people need to be involved—technologists, the public, domain-specific experts, policy officials, and lawmakers. Right now, however, that’s not happening.

Welcome to a sneak preview of the new design for Wikipedia!
We would love your feedback on our changes

Porn Wikileaks was a wiki website ( pornwikileaks.com [1] ) which contained the personal information, including the real names , of over 15,000 pornographic actors . The information came from a patient database managed by AIM Medical Associates which has closed due to the lawsuits caused by the leaks, [2] [1] a clinic where many pornographic film performers were tested for sexually transmitted diseases . [3] [4] [5]

The website received criticism from performers such as Kimberly Kane who stated, "Most of us in the porn industry know who is behind Porn WikiLeaks; he is doing it out of hatred for a business that shunned him for being even too repugnant for porn." [6] Adult performer Christian XXX stated, "They posted my real name, the real names of my parents and pictures of them, their home address and telephone number, the name and picture and phone number of my brother, a picture of the cemetery where my grandfather recently passed away, not to mention saying that I have HIV ." [6]

In August 2019, Porn Wikileaks was purchased by Bang Bros , who shut it down; Bang Bros subsequently posted a video of a pile of hard drives being set on fire. [7]

Search …

Before you can download from Usenet, you need a provider. Newsdemon is a reliable option. I list all my recommended providers here .
Binsearch is a free public Usenet search engine but it’s quite rudimentary. Nzbfriends is another public search.
If you need a better organized, more comprehensive NZB search, try a member-only site. These sites generally require an invitation for access, but they are often open for public registration — I list the currently open ones below.
You can combine Usenet indexes using the program NZBHydra2 — details here . This really helps to make your search more comprehensive.
An alternative to NZBHydra2 seems to be NZBmegasearch . I have not tested it, but here’s a fairly technical guide to installing it.
Before you can start downloading from Usenet, you need to pay for Usenet access from a provider. You can expect to pay about $10-$15 per month for access. See my article The Best Usenet Provider for more details.
You’ll need an application to download all your files. My recommended app is SABnzbd (for Windows, Mac and Linux). If you download a lot, consider saving files directly to an external hard drive.
It’s unlikely that you’ll be spied upon when using the Usenet, but it is still a possibility. Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a straightforward way to conceal your IP address, and ensure your privacy.
You want a VPN that allows P2P transfers on their servers, like Private Internet Access .
See all my recommended providers in this post: The Best VPN For P2P .
Well, this is an informative article as I was unaware of what is usenet in reality.
Thanks for the information, Great Post!!!
I’ve been using PIA since 2016, It works. I use it on Windows, Ubuntu, Backbox, and Android.
I use PIA on my media server at home, the only complaint I have is that when it’s connected, Plex is unable to automatically connect to my myPlex account. This prevents me and other people I share my Plex server with from being able to discover it. So basically I have to turn PIA off to be able to access my media server with any remote Plex app.
Thats because a system admin goes to those sites every few days and adds all of the links to the blacklist. they also monitor your history so if most of your web traffic is coming from one domain name they will most likely investigate and block the proxy site.
Great subject and information. I had heard a little about this, but never realized what it entailed. Great job.
Thank you for providing this information. Is there any chance I could get an invite to abook.ws, please? Thank you very much.
You’re right, it recently went invite only. However, it’s fairly easy to get in. You can just drop by the chat, read the topic and politely ask for an invitation.
Thanks, Your articles really help us
Quick question, Is it safe to pay using a credit card for indexers and news hosting? or is it better to pay buy bitcoin? when I say safe, well I mean if you have downloaded something from newsgroups like movies, having used your credit card to subscribe to newgroups, will that leave you vurlnable to traced by authorities?
When using Usenet, it’s very unlikely to encounter issues like that. But generally, Bitcoin is the most private payment option.
CyberGhost almost always has huge discount deals if you google for them. Bought a year premium for $20 not too long ago. Heck, every year they have multiple free deals for a few months for one pc.
I used WiTopia for 6 months on several PCs and Android devices with only one problem – any search query put in Google was blocked by Google itself explaning that there are too many queries generated by the network I use. Therefore I switched to Private Internet Access because how would you like to be on internet without possibility to Google anything…
Thanks for this nice and informative article. Gingadaddy, NZB.SU, NewzTown may be a good choice for users.
Hi, I love audiobooks and ‘swallow’ one to two a week. Could someone give me an invite to abook.link? See a lot of posts from them on the net.
You can request an invite to https://abook.link by visiting their chat at https://abook.link/chat/ or IRC SynIRC #abook.link and messaging that you want an invite. Have patience and someone on the invite team will either respond to you when they see it, or periodically ask who wants an invite. They are pretty much the best source for audiobooks on Usenet.
Tnx Jester!
It worked fine and I am really enjoying it there!
