MODERATORS
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.
