Judge denies xAI’s request to block Minnesota ban on ‘nudify’ apps

Saturday, August 1, 2026


A federal judge in Minnesota rejected xAI's legal challenge to a state law banning applications that generate nude images of people without consent. The law permits the ban to take effect as scheduled. xAI had filed the lawsuit seeking to block the statute on free speech grounds. The legislation prohibits the distribution or creation of non-consensual intimate images using digital technology.
