For platforms, hosting providers, and AI developers, this concretely means: from December 2026 onward, technical and organizational measures must be in place to prevent the creation and distribution of non-consensual nude images. However, the study also shows that regulation alone is insufficient—fast response mechanisms, well-resourced authorities, and clear responsibilities are essential. For German companies in the AI and platform sector, a critical question emerges: how can the ban be technically implemented without creating legal uncertainty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Sources\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ad-hoc-news.de\u002Fwissenschaft\u002Feu-nudifier-verbot-ab-2-dezember-2026-ist-konsequente-durchsetzung\u002F70194815\">ad-hoc-news.de\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Editorially owned by \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fen\u002Fautor\u002Fideal-syka\">Ideal Syka\u003C\u002Fa>.
