Images Donald Trump deepfake And Pope Francis as Balenciaga.caused widespread confusion on social media regarding their veracity, so software creator Midjourney decided to close their free trials to avoid further issues.
Midjourney CEO and founder David Holtz announced the change Tuesday, citing “extraordinary litigation and abuse of judgment.”

Midjourney allowed anyone to sign up to use their software via Discord, offering 25 free image builds before charging a subscription fee starting at $10 per month.
The app maintains a list of banned words “related to topics in different countries based on complaints from users in those countries,” according to a post by Holz last October. But he does not publish the full version of this list in order to minimize the “drama”. As Holtz said last year: “Almost no one notices [de la lista de prohibición] unless they are specifically trying to create drama that is against our rules in terms of service: “do not use our drama creation tools.”
“We tried to re-enable trials with new anti-abuse measures, but they were not enough, so we turned them off again to keep the service for everyone else,” Holtz said. We’ve reached out to Holz for comment and will update this story if we get a response.
