I honestly feel like every man or boy who does this to a woman or girl in his life should be sentenced to hard labor for a month and be banned from the internet for at least a year. Go break rocks or pick crops against your will for a month and contemplate your poor life choices.

Quote:In Spain last year, 15 boys in the south-western region of Extremadura were sentenced to a year’s probation after being convicted of using AI to produce fake naked images of their female schoolmates, which they shared on WhatsApp groups. About 20 girls were affected, most of them aged 14, while the youngest was 11.

So gross. At least... something was done... once. Ugh.

Quote:Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, says there is something particularly shocking about deepfake images. In her book The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution Is Reinventing Misogyny, she writes: “Of all the forms of abuse I receive they are the ones that hurt most deeply – the ones that stay with me. It’s hard to describe why, except to say that it feels like you. It feels like someone has taken you and done something to you and there is nothing you can do about it. Watching a video of yourself being violated without your consent is an almost out-of-body experience.”

(Quoting to pull out resources lest I forget, and also because of her description of how violating such an act is.)

Thread for her new book mentioned exists here. And new thread created for The Everyday Sexism Project.

Also discussion on Vexxed.

I saw this thread yesterday, had some thoughts but was a bit too disgusted (And shocked at the implications, that random person using his phone could be taking a photo of you to do this) to reply.

Not my intent to minimise the malevolence of boys, but I do question their capability to use AI to do this, without there being sites that do this for them. Adolescent teenage boys are hardly running AI's on their PC, it's obviously some platform that is allowing them to do this, right? Why are those sites not blocked? Why are their owners not arrested? Even if it wasn't a teenage girl but an adult woman, no AI should allow people to have the capability to do this. That is not to say these boys shouldn't be punished, they should be punished a lot more than what it seems from the article, but the people behind such sites should be caught.

I read that Guardian article too. Here's a related story out of Louisiana I saw recently: A boy shared nude deepfakes of a middle school girl on the bus and at school. She sought help. It was denied. In frustration, she hit the boy and got expelled. Yeah. :catwhaaa:

:catwhaaa:

:annoyed:

The fortunate side of this story is that at least the boy's penalty is shaping up to be more severe, involving multiple criminal charges and, more importantly, a potential change in Louisiana state law to turn the dissemination of pornographic deepfake content from a misdemeanor crime into a felony offense.
