## Resource

Minnesota is cracking down hard on AI nudification tech, set to ban it starting August 1, 2026, with steep penalties including $500,000 per violation and civil lawsuits. The law targets any use or access of apps that turn photos into fake porn, especially when used to exploit women and children. Lawmakers were moved by victim testimonies, and Governor Walz signed the bill into law in May 2026. Minnesota’s bold move aims to cut off the supply chain and protect privacy in the digital age—think twice before using this tech, because the consequences are serious.
