YouTube and X (Twitter) are accused of sending millions of users to websites offering AI powered pornographic tools. A new study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) shows that over a period of 4 months, these platforms have sent millions of users to platforms offering services where anyone can create indecent images. These results from the study are really shocking and with these results coming out, there is now increasing concern about how social media platforms are helping users find deepfake tools, while the policies of the platforms prevent them from doing so.
This thing came out from the study
The study published by ISD examined the 10 most used apps and websites that create deepfakes and analyzed how users were finding them. It was found that social media platforms drove more than 5.7 million visits to websites producing obscene content (images) between December 2025 and March 2026. YouTube X also had 1.82 million visits, more than 30 percent of all referrals, while X was the second largest source, with more than 1.3 million visits.
According to the report, users who searched for terms like undress app were shown videos reviewing and promoting these tools. Some videos also contained links to apps and promo codes offering free credits, making the services easier to access.
Platforms violating the policy
Researchers say that from these results it is clear that the company is violating its own policies banning obscene content. They argue that the rules should also apply to websites and tools that generate such obscene images.
