      The emergence of NSFW images of Taylor Swift generated by artificial intelligence shocked social media, triggering alarm at the White House. The pop star's fans, known as Swifties, have now tracked down the man who shared the deepfakes.

      Swifites track down the culprit

      In an extraordinary display of their unfathomable prowess, Swifties have tracked down the man who shared Taylor Swift's pornographic images on social media. While it remains unknown who began the trend of sharing Taylor's deepfakes, an X user, @Zvbear, was among those who posted these images. Swift's fans have now taken the matter into their own hands, as they remain committed to punishing the cyber criminal. Some Taylor fans worked overnight and have found the X user's details. As per a viral post, his name is Zubear Abdi, who lives in Toronto and goes to the University of Toronto, Scarborough.

      Despite Swifites' scathing attack, the X user remained unfazed, saying he would never be caught. “I don’t care how powerful Swifties are; they’ll never find me,” he declared as his offensive photos angered Taylor fans. “I’m like the Joker. I use fake numbers and addresses," he added.

"We are going to do what we can to deal with this issue," she added.
