Minnesota's 'Nudify' App Ban Proceeds After Judge Rejects xAI's TRO Request
A Minnesota judge denied xAI's request for a temporary restraining order to block the state's ban on 'nudify' apps, citing the delayed filing as evidence of non-imminent harm. The ban, the first of its kind in the U.S., allows the law to take effect while xAI's lawsuit continues, with the company arguing the legislation is overly broad.
Despite a lawsuit from xAI, a Minnesota ban on apps that allow users to “nudify” images can move forward.
