Pornhub, Reddit, and Twitter are now banning deepfakes
But Nicolas Cage face swap memes are still legal
You know you effed up if even the internet’s most inclusive websites decide to ban you from their servers. Reddit, Twitter, and Pornhub have all raised the ban hammer against porn and AI’s absurd love child, deepfakes.
Late last year, Redditor u/deepfakes used facial swapping AI to swap the faces of Hollywood celebs with lookalike porn stars. The trend launched a series of fake porn GIFs and videos, centered around the creator’s own subreddit, r/deepfakes.
Even as the trend was just starting, concerned users and lawmakers cried foul over the usage of likenesses without consent. Despite the uproar, laws have yet to account for the legality of face-swapping porn.
Now, they might get their wish, courtesy of the communities that spawned them in the first place.
The ban hammer first swung from Discord and Gfycat, banning the content from their own sites. Discord is a voice and text chat app that deepfakes makers used to share their own creations. Meanwhile, Gfycat is a hosting site that makers used to upload their GIFs for public viewing.
Larger sites would follow soon after, starting with Pornhub. The porn platform is draconian over blatantly illegal content like child pornography. Because of the concern over deepfakes, Pornhub has included deepfakes in its list of bannable content.
After Pornhub, Twitter started policing the content by suspending any account that creates deepfakes. Among the big social media platforms, Twitter is the most liberal, allowing nudity and porn content to run free.
Finally, the internet decided to nip the bud at its source — Reddit. The site decided to update its rules following the wave of bans spreading across the net. Previously, Reddit’s rules only vaguely covered non-consensual content. This time, the new rules include deepfakes as an offense. The original subreddit has since been suspended.
Pornhub, Twitter, and Reddit all voice out that they will not stand for non-consensual porn that uses likenesses of both porn actors and celebs without consent.
The legality of face-swapping porn is still up in the air, but the tech still proliferates. While popular sites are cracking down, underground communities are sure to pop up. Despite this, the face-swapping tech is still legal. Safe-for-work face swaps, like those that placed Nicolas Cage in movies where he shouldn’t be in, are still a-ok with the internet.

DC’s Clayface teaser shows off a horror-filled superhero movie
Our first taste of James Gunn’s Gotham City will be frightening.
Last year, James Gunn’s Superman sparked an impressive wave of excitement for the new DC Universe. Though this year’s spotlight is on Supergirl, Clayface is also getting an eponymous film, giving us our first taste of Gotham City in this bustling universe.
There’s been a lot of mystery surrounding this film. For one, Gotham City’s DCU debut is based on, arguably, a secondary villain, rather than any member of the Bat-Family. Secondly, Gunn has confirmed that the movie will heavily lean towards the horror genre, a feat others have tried but often failed.
Today, DC Studios has released the first teaser trailer for Clayface. And no, Gunn wasn’t kidding when he said this is going to be a horror film.
Tom Rhys Harries plays Matt Hagen, a rising movie star suddenly scarred by a violent attack. Desperate to resurrect his career, he resorts to a scientific experiment that turns his skin into moldable clay.
As the teaser hints, the film will not shy away from body horror, including shots of Hagen’s disfigured face either from the attack or from the clay. It’s a big departure from the more traditional style of Superman or Supergirl. But it’s a gamble that might pay off for a universe as young as the DCU.
It’s also apropos that the DCU’s first horror film is getting a horror-themed premiere. Clayface will premiere in cinemas on October 23, 2026.

The Fujifilm instax mini 13 is your new, favorite plus-one!
Say goodbye to awkward “who’s taking the photo?” debates with the camera that puts you at the center of the frame.
We’ve all been there: you’re at the center of a perfect moment — a sunset rooftop toast or a reunion with your best friends — and you’re stuck behind the screen trying to get the lighting right.
Fujifilm’s new instax mini 13 is here to let you stop worrying about the “how” and start living the “now”.
The first thing you’ll notice is the glow-up. The mini 13 swaps the tech-heavy look for a soft, sculpted aesthetic that feels like a dream in your hand. It comes in five candy-colored hues: Dreamy Purple, Frost Blue, Candy Pink, Lagoon Green, and Clay White.
The biggest flex is you can finally be in the shot. The new dual timers (2 or 10 seconds) mean no more awkward “who’s taking the photo?” debates.
Just prop it up with the included angle adjustment accessory, set the timer, and join the frame.
The tech inside is just as intuitive. A simple twist of the lens powers it on or shifts it into Close-Up Mode, while the Parallax Correction ensures your centered shots actually stay centered.
Because we live for the “post,” the updated instax UP! app uses AI to scan your physical prints with pinpoint precision.
It strips away the glare and the background noise, leaving you with a clean, digital version of your favorite tactile memories.
The Fujifilm instax mini 13 is now available in the Philippines, and retails for PhP 5,399.

Dyson’s latest bundle is the power couple your floors have been waiting for
The answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just ‘life’
There’s a particular kind of domestic frustration that doesn’t get talked about enough: the moment you finish vacuuming, look down at your gleaming hard floors, and realize they still need mopping. Two tools. Two routines. One slightly deflated sense of accomplishment. Dyson, apparently, has been paying attention.
For a limited time, the brand is bundling two of its machines into a single, rather attractive package — the Dyson WashG1™ wet floor cleaner and the Dyson V8™ Slim cordless vacuum — positioning them as the complete answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just life.
Meet the pair
The WashG1™ is Dyson’s take on the wet floor cleaner, designed to wash hard floors in one streamlined pass rather than the traditional drag-and-splash method that mostly moves grime from one end of the room to the other. No buckets, no wringing, no staring at a suspiciously grey mop head and wondering when exactly it stopped being useful. It’s the kind of appliance that quietly earns its counter space — and then some.

Compact, cordless, and deceptively powerful: the V8™ Slim for when the mess is small but your standards aren’t.
The V8™ Slim, meanwhile, is the lighter, nimbler sibling of Dyson’s cordless line. Useful for the crumbs under the dining chair, the dust gathering behind the shelves, and every other small, daily chaos that a full-sized vacuum feels excessive for. Cordless and compact, it’s the machine you’ll actually pick up instead of sighing and walking past the mess.
Together, they cover the full floor care spectrum: the V8™ Slim handles the dry sweep, the WashG1™ follows with the wash. It’s a logical pairing, honestly — the kind that makes you wonder why you’ve been doing it any other way.
Why this Dyson combination matters
Hard floors, for all their aesthetic appeal, are unforgiving surfaces. Dust settles visibly. Spills linger. And vacuuming alone, as satisfying as the process can be, doesn’t quite address the layer of grime that accumulates on high-traffic areas over time. A wet cleaner handles what a vacuum can’t, and vice versa — which is precisely why owning both, rather than cycling through them separately across different shopping occasions, makes a certain kind of sense.
There’s also something to be said for the ease of a dedicated routine. When both machines live in the same home, cleaning stops being a production and starts being a rhythm — a quick pass with the V8™ Slim in the morning, a proper wash with the WashG1™ when the floors need it. Less deliberation, more just getting it done.
The numbers
Originally priced at PhP 74,800 for both, the bundle is currently available at PhP 45,900 — a saving of PhP 28,900. The mechanic is straightforward: purchase the WashG1™ and the V8™ Slim comes with it.
The promo runs from April 16 to 30, 2026, available at Dyson Stores nationwide. For those who’ve been watching these two machines from a careful distance, the window is narrow — but the value proposition is hard to argue with.
