Ridiculous Chinese censorship used AI to change the gay couple in Together (2025) to a heterosexual couple
(hexbear.net)
Usually, they only censor the explicit content. But this is the first time that AI tools were used to directly alter the content of the original film.
By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.
The argument is, if anything, that companies have been given too much freedom, not that they should be allowed to do this, in contrast with the implied thesis that this specific case of censorship was directly enforced by the CPC.
