Let’s not beat around the bush: We all love the internet. It’s a treasure trove of information, a place where we meet friends, and it offers us a good laugh at silly memes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But every now and then, it feels like we’ve opened a can of worms, and what pops out isn’t exactly a laugh riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in point: a recent\u00a0report by Arstechnica<\/em><\/a>\u00a0has revealed a gross misstep by Google and Bing. Turns out, they’ve been putting nonconsensual deepfake porn at the top of their search results. And yes, it’s as bad as it sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deep dive into the NBC News investigation<\/a><\/em> revealed that out of 36 popular female celebrities’ names coupled with terms like “deep fake,” “deep fake porn,” and “fake nudes,” 34 Google searches and 35 Bing searches led to explicit deep fake content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we’re not talking about buried links or images; these were front and center, hogging the limelight of the prime real estate that is the first page of search results.<\/p>\n\n\n
