A new law will see creators of sexually explicit deepfakes face prosecution and a fine.

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.

    No, if you create something it exists, whether or not it is a digital file or not.

    Can you please send me 20 photos of you, along with roughly 10 minutes of audio?

        Let’s start with the creation of pornography starring you. Currently I am considering having 100 German men using you as a toilet.

        Please provide images of yourself and a small clip containing your voice.

          Do you, in all seriousness, think this is any kind of winning argument? I give absolutely zero fucks if someone wants to jerk off to my image in privacy. Zero. For all you know being a toilet for 100 German men is what I call a fun Tuesday evening.

          I’m just trying to identify the exact thing you think does harm to a person when done in complete privacy.

            If you give zero fucks, hand it over.

              Look if you like to jerk off to fetish porn of random strangers that’s totally on you. If you do it in private, I’ll never know and certainly never care whether it’s me or not. If you don’t then we’ve established that’s harmful. So what is the point of this empty challenge? I’ve got nothing to prove to you. You can either accept my word at face value or not. I don’t actually care where you draw the line between imagination and harm, but it’s kinda weird that you can’t accept that folks can have a reasonable difference of opinion. That’s a you problem. See ya.

                So you are obstructing me from accomplishing what you think is okay to do without consent…

                Very very interesting.

                  Not enabling you is obstruction? My dude do whatever you want if you can. My image is out there on Facebook and other platforms. God speed, you kinky fucker. Or, if you’re not actually trying to get off, then this whole thing is in bad faith.
