Judge Upholds Minnesota Ban on Nudify Apps Despite xAI's Legal Challenge
A Minnesota judge denied xAI's request to block the state's ban on 'nudify' apps, citing the delayed lawsuit filing as evidence of non-imminent harm. The ruling allows the law to take effect while xAI's legal challenge continues, with the company arguing the ban is overly broad and less restrictive alternatives exist.
Despite a lawsuit from xAI, a Minnesota ban on apps that allow users to “nudify” images can move forward.
