Reported service-specific pressure on app distribution
These are the San Francisco notices to Apple and Google reported in July 2026 concerning apps associated with deepfake nudification. The Chronicle describes notices dated 16 July, confidential app attachments and a twenty-eight-day response request.
The Chronicle says the notices cite the earlier 47-AG warning and threaten civil enforcement. The requested twenty-eight-day response period is distinct from the statute's thirty-day condition measured from receipt. WIRED quotes Apple reporting three app removals, developer termination in progress and required changes to four other apps; Google reported suspending five identified apps. These are attributed company responses, without independent availability measurements or proof of payment disconnection.
