Apple's App Store rules now explicitly ban AI nudify apps

Design Digital Trends
Apple updated its App Store guidelines to explicitly prohibit AI applications that generate nonconsensual intimate imagery or include hidden nudification features.
What: Apple now mandates proactive moderation for user-generated content and bans apps from hiding functionality during review that could later enable sexualized deepfakes or nonconsensual imagery.
Why it matters: This move forces developers to implement stricter server-side content filtering, shifting the burden of safety onto the app creator to maintain platform compliance.
