Deepsukebe is an app that creates nonconsensual pornography by undressing people using 'hyper-realistic' deepfake technology.ย
Launched in 2020, the app's mission is to โmake all menโs dreams come true'.
Users can 'nudify' one picture for free every two hours, pay a fee in cryptocurrency for a specified number of additional photos, or earn up to 100 freebies without restrictions through a referral reward that incentivises people to promote the website online.

It is unclear who is behind Deepsukebe, how its system works, and what impacts - direct and indirect - it has on those whose images are uploaded to and manipulated on its platform, and shared elsewhere.
Deepsukebe launched a decentralised partner programme that makes its algorithm available to third partiess via an API, and a referral programe that rewards users for sharing nude images created using the app. The former programme is apparently designed to avoid the service being taken offline, according to WIRED.
Coinbase severed its relationship with Deepsukebe Deepsukebe was initially hosted on Finnish host provider Ab Stract, and registered with UK-based domain registrar TLD Registrar Solutions, with Mastercard and Visa listed as approved payment suppliers on Deepsukebe's website.ย
Under pressure, the service switched to offer cryptocurrency payments through Coinbase, despite the crypto exchangeโs terms explicitly prohibiting illegal, obscene and abusive usage.
Deepsukebe has caused controversy for privacy abuse, female objectification and dehumanisation, and other legal and ethical issues.
