UK News: New legislation will make deepfake porn a criminal offence in England and Wales




"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."

I'm fine with banning deepfake porn, creating and distributing Deepfake porn is concerning and not right.It reminds me of "Revenge porn" which is another topic I do not agree with.

Totally agree with this but unfortunately this only applies to England and Wales which is probably only around 2 or 3 percent of the internet

Its the age old problem. How do you legislate a global platform like the internet when each country only has jurastiction over a small part of it ??

It opens the way for other countries to take similar steps.

You lock them perpetrators up and it send a clear message to other would be wrong do'ers.
