If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people.

Sometimes it is a whole account on TikTok that posts these videos. Sometimes it is just 1-2 of these videos.
Some get only a few thousand views. Some get over 150K views, like this one here.
Most of these videos aren't good enough to pass for the real thing, imho, but they do fool some.

A good chunk of my time each week is dedicated to collecting and archiving video evidence of DHS officers arresting people. There are literally hundreds of these videos.
I cannot fathom why people spend time on Sora creating their own AI videos of families being ripped apart to post online.

If this was a movie, the audience would think literally destroying a portion of the White House would be too direct of a metaphor to represent Trump's dismantling of America.

But one issue I immediately foresee is that they list the current company on the website, a LLC out of the British Virgin Islands.
Clothoff has repeatedly listed innocent companies on their website to point the blame at others. I hope they have more evidence than just that.

I did find a Reddit post from someone claiming they were on the dev team and that the site is no longer being maintained. This could be some random person though.
Their discover page showed publicly shared AI porn made by users. While no new content is being shared, they still host older images

Update: Back in May, I noticed that an AI deepfake porn site I previously reported on had its Telegram channel disappear. I'd been casually following the site since its rebrand from Anydream to Genfluence.
It has been months later, no new Telegram, and no new photos on their 'discover' page.

There is reading @jackjenkins.me's article where he describes a minister being hit in the head with pepper balls by agents on a roof while praying, and you hope that this is an exaggeration. But seeing it verifies that it is exactly as described.

Today, masked agents (I assume to be BP or ICE agents from the badge) threw tear gas canisters toward civilians because they were blocked in traffic and were heckeled at

And certainly this is a global issue, but there are many victims in the US and UK.
And this makes sense unfortunately. In my own analysis of websites that offer deepfake porn services, the US and the UK are often the largest markets for users. There is a demand for this content.

Now this is a notification I didn't expect. My Google alerts for 'clothoff' found a post on IMDB promoting clothoff[dot]io as a mobile game.
Clothoff is a notorious AI-nudifying service that has repeatedly created porn of children.

I understand the good intentions of aggregator accounts, but with great follower numbers comes the responsibility of double checking content before blasting it out. Just this one post has nearly 180K views.
You HAVE to mention if this is new or not, otherwise people will assume it is recent.

In the viral clip, we username for an account that shared this is watermarked. Going to that IG account we see that there is only 1 video, which is a bit of a flag, but we are able to see a much longer version of the video and see that it was shared on June 16th.
Not from this weekend.

We are super fortunate that is this video, we see a peak of an address from a couple shots. Going to this spot in Chicago confirms that the location is correct. And in fact, it is in front of an immigration court house.
So there WHERE is accurate.
