The Microsoft-owned GitHub, an online hosting service for group projects on software development, made the list this year, being blamed for the creation of many abusive deepfake images that are used to degrade women.

“GitHub is a hotbed of sexual deepfake repositories (where the codes are) and forums (where people chat) dedicated to the creation and commodification of synthetic media technologies, as well as ‘nudify’ apps that take women’s images and ‘strip them’ of clothing, such as DeepNude,” stated NCOSE.

“By providing a space not only to create but collaborate and amplify abuse, GitHub is not only condoning criminal conduct — it is directly contributing to it.”
