Explicit Deepfakes

The UK government has taken a firm stand against the creation and distribution of explicit deepfakes, marking a significant move towards combating this growing online menace. Under the new law, individuals responsible for creating, sharing or taking sexually explicit deepfake images without consent could face up to two years in prison. This crackdown is part of a broader attempt to tackle online abuse, with a particular focus on protecting women and girls who are often the victims of such harmful content.
