So you would not mind if I send AI sex videos of you to your parents and friends? How about a video where you are sexually degraded playing in public space - how would you feel about that? Maybe you performing sexual acts that you find gross yourself? You just need a bit of empathy to understand that not everyone is into exhibitionism and wants intimate things become public.
I'd really prefer that people not send my parents any kind of porn.
I look at it like someone took my face out of a Facebook picture, printed it, cut it out, pasted it over some porn, and did the same thing.
It'd be a weird thing for them to do, but I don't really need to send the law after them for it. Maybe for harassment?
Laws have a cost, even good intentioned laws. I don't believe we need new ones for this.
Do you think people might change their opinion on you and act differently after seeing you performing in porn?
It causes distress to victims, arguably violates personal rights and is moral and ethically at least questionable. What would be downsides of criminal persecution for non-consensual sexual Deepfakes?
If they understand that this kind of porn exists? No.
But that's an education thing, not a legal thing.
The downside is giving law enforcement yet another excuse to violate digital privacy. Laws that are difficult/impossible to enforce tend to do more harm than good.
I don't see this law removing any fake Taylor Swift porn from the Internet. Or really any other celebrity, for that matter.
You know people form opinions on actors based on their roles in movies? So people will change what they think of you and how they act towards you based on media, even if it's clearly fictional.
How exactly? Which new abilities to violate digital privacy is given the state by the this bill?
Yeah, but it's happening to women mostly so these commenters probably don't really care.
I think a lot of man have unfortunately difficulties to empathize with women here, because they have rather different experience when it comes to expressing their sexuality and possible negative consequences.
"So you would not mind if I send AI sex videos of you to your parents and friends?". Seems like sending it would be the dick move. My family and friends probably have no interest in seeing deepfakes of me naked.
"How about a video where you are sexually degraded playing in public space - how would you feel about that?" Considering its not really me.. meh. I don't personally care. Because it's not me.
"Maybe you performing sexual acts that you find gross yourself?" If someone wants to make deepfakes of me eating poop or something for whatever reason.. oh well? It's not really me.
But you do you.
It mostly not saying that it's deepfakes of you. It's just a whats app message from someone who does not like you and you have to explain a whole new technology to your parents.
You know it, others don't. This will greatly change others perception of you and how they treat you.
Your boss and coworkers don't know.
No, but I have empathy with other people.
