PM says measure, also applied to deepfake nudes, is needed owing to a ‘national emergency’ of online misogyny

Snip:

Deepfake nudes and “revenge porn” must be removed from the internet within 48 hours or technology firms risk being blocked in the UK, Keir Starmer has said, calling it a “national emergency” that the government must confront.

Companies could be fined millions or even blocked altogether if they allow the images to spread or be reposted after victims give notice.

Amendments will be made to the crime and policing bill to also regulate AI chatbots such as X’s Grok, which generated nonconsensual images of women in bikinis or in compromising positions until the government threatened action against Elon Musk’s company.

Critical support to Starmer on this one thing I guess…

    I think considering sharing fabricated porn of a real person or sharing nudes of someone without their consent is severely torturing the concept of speech and free speech and getting into the weeds about it is unproductive and problematic in its own right.
