Taylor’s searches were blocked on X after fake images were spread
LOS ANGELES: Social media platform X has banned users from searching for Taylor Swift after fake sexual images of the pop singer proliferated on social media this week, an executive said Sunday. Searches for Swift’s name Sunday afternoon on the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, returned the error message, “Something went wrong. Please try reloading.” “This is a temporary action and is being taken out of an abundance of caution as we prioritize safety in this matter,” Joe Benaroch, X’s chief business officer, said in a statement. Swift was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2023
