Justice Department seizes websites that published deepfake nudes of famous women

www.techspot.com English

The targeted women included heads of state, first ladies, royalty, legislators, government officials, journalists, TV presenters, athletes, entertainers, and other public figures.

Investigators said users could browse material by tags including “rape,” “forced,” “degradation,” and “slave.” Those categories are a big reason why prosecutors framed the case as abuse and exploitation rather than a copyright or impersonation dispute.

    The DOJ says the domains were used to publish digitally forged nude and sexual images and videos of women without their consent. According to the Justice Department,...

      Good. Great. Awesome.

      Yet only the rich get protection, the everyday girls and women have to see their artificial nudes on X while trying to avoid their coworkers and classmates laughing about it. Two tiered justice.

        You guys can all make deep fake nudes of me if you want. I’m not saying everyone should feel like me but I promise you I would not care even one little bit.

          So long as you don’t use your consent as an assumption to assume others do/should consent, then sure, great, cool, whatever. Can’t help but notice your lack of pictures on your account so seems more like theoretical thing as opposed to something someone could choose to do against you.

          But schools are literally being blackmailed with deep faked photos of their students. I’m infinitely more concerned for those boys and girls wellbeing that a handful of famous folk with Lawyers and PR teams.

            I’m happy to provide a picture if you think making some deep fakes would make you feel better. Also, as I said, people are allowed to be upset by whatever they choose. If deep fakes of you exist and that upsets you then feel free to rage about it all you like. I don’t see the point in feeling anything more than annoyed at having to explain that the pictures are fake but, again, that’s just me.

              Except there are probably pictures that could be created and made available to your friends and family that you might not feel so comfortable with, and ones that are realistic that others may not be convinced are fake. Maybe pics of you fapping in your restroom at work or pics of you involved in beastiality. Distributed amongst your coworkers, family, social group or church members and then you’re fighting for your job or struggling with the fact that some friends or family don’t seem100% convinced it’s fake and you suffer consequences.

              Maybe you don’t care, just like you might not care if people take pics of you through you’re bedroom window, but that doesn’t mean people should be free to do it without your consent first.

              Gonna recommend you look for reports of people who feel differently from you on this, read their stories and emotional accounts of going through this, with some empathy.

                I understand the logic of it just fine. Disagreeing with the response is not a sign of a lack of empathy. I’ve said repeatedly that people can feel how they want. I find it ironic that those of you purporting to be open minded are the ones trying to control how others feel about this topic.

                  Then stop this trolling. No one cares if you personally wouldn’t be hurt by something that is actively hurting untold number of women and children. Your personal opinion was never the topic of discussion.

                  The fact you think this is only about people’s feelings and not the material reality of bullying speaks volumes. Then you go onto gaslight people over your lack of awareness of the situation. Please share this encounter with your therapist or find a therapist before I start decoding your projections for the internet to see.

                    There it is again. “Don’t act like you’re right and others are wrong” doesn’t work as a prescriptive when you’re doing exactly that in your replies.

                    Why is it so important to you that I think about things the same way you do? You’re tossing out every derogatory pop-psychology term you can think of in an effort to make me conform to your way of thinking and yet I’m supposed to believe that you’re the empathetic one. I don’t think so buddy. Get over yourself.

      Nice, maybe we should also seize any AI sites being used to generate sexual images of minors.

      Oh no wait, it’s okay if you’re a trillionaire, carry on.

      Ive noticed they only take down stuff for politicians not underage actors or celebs or influencers or ppl in general, but anything nsfw about politicians is swiftly taken down even on reddit
