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.

    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.
