Justice Department seizes websites that published deepfake nudes of famous women (www.techspot.com)

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.

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.

I didn't say they should be free to do it. I said the only part of that situation you can control is your own reaction. If people don't believe you when you say they're fake then those people are assholes just like the people who made the fakes. That doesn't mean you should spend your time being upset by it all. That's the goal of the people who did it.

This isn't situationally different than people spreading rumors about you. Those you care about should believe you when you say it isn't true. If they don't then you have a problem that's not related to the situation you find yourself in.
