A gay couple in an Australian horror movie was digitally altered into a heterosexual one for its release in mainland China, a move that likely involved AI and signals a new frontier in censorship.
In Together, the thriller starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, one of the men in a same-sex relationship was replaced with a woman’s face. The edit sparked backlash from viewers, many of whom only noticed after social media posts compared the altered scene with the original.
