In the last three to four days, users searching for any queries on Taylor Swift on X found an inexplicable error message. The move came as a part of the platform’s attempts to hide search results until they had removed any unwanted content surrounding the AI deepfake outrage. However, now, the micro-blogging site has made its headway with the removals as searching for the singer now returns quick results as usual.

The rapid spread of such images using trending hashtags became a major concern for all users worldwide, even as Swifties actively combatted the threat by diluting them to oblivion.
