- According to the original article, Apple updated its App Store rules to more clearly ban so-called 'nudify' apps that use AI tools to create sexual images of people without their consent.
- The rules state that developers must prevent and remove non-consensual sexual images in advance, and that apps may be removed from the App Store if they lack adequate safeguards or do not fix a problem after receiving a violation notice.
- The original article says that apps which are approved and then add or change features to include a 'nudification' function are also banned.
- The rules state that apps that help with human trafficking or child exploitation will be removed from the App Store and blocked on other distribution channels too. The original article places this in the context of criticism of X and Grok, and of an order from the San Francisco city attorney to delete July apps 13.
O: This is useful for developers who want to check, before App Store review, whether their AI image app's content safeguards and feature changes might run into Apple's new rules.
X: The source reports the content of the rules Apple announced, so the actual enforcement method and its effects should be treated as Apple's claims, and any unclear points in how the criteria apply need to be checked separately.
