Deepfake porn is destroying real lives in South Korea

Some of the perpetrators: &quot;Two former students from the prestigious Seoul National University (SNU)&quot; and &quot;a quiet, introverted student “someone you’d never imagine doing such a thing,”&quot;.<p>&quot;...lot of articles and comments about deepfakes saying, ‘Why is it a serious crime when it’s not even your real body?’”&quot;<p>This seems like a deep societal issue that cannot be solved through harsh criminal penalties alone.

As a parent I worry about this technology being used on children. While one way of preventing this from happening is to limit photos of children on social media it&#x27;s extremely difficult to maintain this once they hit high school&#x2F;secondary school. That approach also doesn&#x27;t stop someone taking source photos or video using their phone.

I understand the laws against distribution, but can anyone explain why creating&#x2F;possessing deep-faked porn for private use is so morally reprehensible or even criminal?<p>I can&#x27;t identify a victim in this scenario. Whose business is it? I genuinely couldn&#x27;t care less if someone did this &quot;to&quot; me, but then I recognise that as a middle aged dude that&#x27;s not ever happening so I may have a blind spot here. How would I even know unless, ironically, the investigation and prosecution publicised the fact that it exists?

I see sites like 4chan sharing deepfakes of their acquaintances daily and they don&#x27;t seem to gain media reaction like this. I wonder the severity they feel is different in SK?

A lot of these SK stories keep reading like a cultural&#x2F;techno dystopia, which makes me wonder if people there want change to occur.

Doesn&#x27;t SK have the lowest birth rate in the world?

I think if anything will stop free computing, it&#x27;ll be AI, specifically for this reason. Too easy to abused, and too many (especially women) being harmed.

All porn destroys lives! Deeply faked or not.

Fuck cnn and their pay to read articles
