A web of X profiles is pushing AI nudify applications into more timelines, giving abuse‑prone tools another route to users while victims scramble to limit the damage.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Graphika senior researcher Matthew Patane said some nudify services are advertised through coordinated social accounts that recycle similar phrasing. One network comprised about 45,000 X accounts, with posts relying on indirect language and blurred visuals to slip past moderation.
The discovery adds fresh pressure on X and on sites such as Undress AI, a Belize‑based service that markets explicit‑image tools and teases paid video creation. Undress AI and X did not respond to requests for comment.
Promotions for these apps are extremely easy to locate. Using random keywords, we uncovered promotional posts like the example below:

How the posts spread
The accounts Patane identified avoided blunt descriptions. They employed casual wording and softened references that could steer users toward nudify tools without spelling out every feature.
Undress AI is also expanding beyond static pictures. Its website advertises a $59 video‑creation option and lets users choose sexualised poses, including undressing and riding. It also offers credits when users recruit friends.
This dual approach gives the service two growth vectors. Coded posts can direct attention to the site, while referral credits give users an intrinsic incentive to bring more people in.
Who suffers when the tools spread
Victims often find themselves chasing damage after an image has already circulated. Reported cases describe fabricated nude images spreading via Snapchat, school hallways, and peer networks, with families trying to erase them while urging schools or police to intervene.
One student targeted by a group of boys in Iowa said images generated with Undress AI were passed around among classmates, prompting her to switch to online classes.
The X network magnifies that risk. A single uploaded photo can quickly become a form of social punishment, especially when promotion funnels more users toward tools built for sexualised image manipulation.
What platforms need to prove now
X broadly bans activity intended to mislead others, but coordinated nudify promotion creates a tougher enforcement challenge. The posts can dodge obvious keywords while still nudging users toward tools designed for explicit manipulation.
The next metric to watch is whether platforms can intercept these campaigns before they scale. Users should lock down personal images where possible, report impersonation swiftly, and preserve evidence before posts disappear.
