What is a deepfake, and why does the government want to make them illegal?

When misused, deepfake technology not only invades privacy but also perpetuates harm that extends far beyond the digital realm, affecting personal dignity and professional integrity. Finding and removing non-consensual deepfake images from the internet is a Sisyphean task. Each upload can multiply across platforms, making it nearly impossible to eradicate them completely. Awareness and strong legal actions are needed. We welcome and support all legal measures that protect individuals from such profound violations.
