The creation of sexually explicit “deepfake” images is to be made a criminal offence in England and Wales under a new law, the government says.
Under the legislation, anyone making explicit images of an adult without their consent will face a criminal record and unlimited fine.
It will apply regardless of whether the creator of an image intended to share it, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said.
And if the image is then shared more widely, they could face jail.
A deepfake is an image or video that has been digitally altered with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to replace the face of one person with the face of another.
Not sure how you’re tying opposition to monarchy with the practice of making nonconsensual pornography. Parliament is the one pushing this legislation.
I don’t think the royals are going to have a better solution.
What? I’m making a jab at the right-wing for not supporting laws like this.
This is a story about England and Wales, and you brought up Republicans.
I am making a joke at your expense, America Brain.
I know. I’m just cracking an American joke.
Enjoy your brexit fallout.
I am also an American, I just read the article far enough to know that we’re not talking about America in this thread.
You aren’t.
This is certainly news to me.
Glad I could help you out.
