The social media site X has blocked some searches for Taylor Swift in reaction to an online spread of pornographic deepfake images of the singer.

社交媒体网站 X 屏蔽了泰勒·斯威夫特 (Taylor Swift) 的一些搜索，以应对网上传播泰勒·斯威夫特 (Taylor Swift) 的色情深度伪造图片的情况。

A “deepfake” is an image, sound recording, or video created to make it appear that people in it are saying or doing things that they did not say or do.

“深度伪造”是一种图像、录音或视频，其目的是让其中的人看起来在说或做他们没有说过或做过的事情。

Attempts to search for her name without quotation marks on the site Monday resulted in a failuremessage. It asked users to retry their search. “Don’t fret — it’s not your fault,” also appeared.

周一试图在网站上搜索不带引号的她的名字，结果出现一条失败消息。 它要求用户重试搜索。 “别担心——这不是你的错，”还出现了。

However, putting quotation marks around her name permitted posts to show where her name appeared.

然而，在她的名字两边加上引号可以让帖子显示她的名字出现的位置。

The images of Swift began spreading widely on X last week. She is now the most famous victim of a danger that technology companies and anti-abuse groups have struggled to fix.

斯威夫特的图片上周开始在 X 上广泛传播。 她现在是科技公司和反滥用组织一直在努力解决的危险中最著名的受害者。

“This is a temporary action and done with an abundance of caution as we prioritize safety on this issue,” Joe Benarroch, head of business operations at X, said in a statement.
