England and Wales propose ban on deepfake porn being shared without the subject's consent. r/technology generates a variety of angry reactions.

“Ha. Alright. Good luck with that.” -me. Just moments ago out loud. 😂

Same! Literally laughing at old men pretending they have control over this.

Right, literally the first thing I did once I got my hands on Stable Diffusion was insert celebrity name nude.

I think this law was made not because of typical porn deepfakes. But probably someone found the possibility of CP deepfake possibilities. (followed by a debate about whether this would be unethical)

lmao what a joke the uk is. Can't even take that place seriously. The government has been nothing but a laughing stock since 1776 and its only gotten worse since brexit.

Having not read the legislation, this high level description seems like the right level to deal with this at. It doesn’t try to ban the models, which is both impossible to enforce and harmful to attempt. And it doesn’t try to ban anything someone does on their own computer for their own personal use, where there’s no chance of harm to reputation. It’s still hard to enforce, but that’s unavoidable, and it at least provides for recourse.

The legislation is beyond terrible and this article is propaganda for trying to ram it through. (followed by someone insisting this Tory-sponsored bill is a move by the far left)

Hypothetical: I find an interesting gif. I share it with a friend. I get arrested. How should I be able to know that something is a deepfake or not? This can theoretically have a chilling affect on free speech as people will be afraid to share content for fear of accidentally sharing something that runs afoul of this law.

A chilling effect on sharing porn doesn't strike me as a dire consequence

(what follows these is a debate on free speech, including a quote about the First Amendment despite this being a British law, quotations taken from the First They Came For The Communists thing, and "The notion of free speech is a myth, and you'd do well to learn that.")

Good luck trying to ban a algorithm.

When it comes to online porn in the UK I guarantee this is a cover for a some shady way to remove people's right to digital privacy.

A debate about the difference between nonconsensual deepfake porn and political cartoons, if such a difference even exists

It should be illegal everywhere to make pornographic deepfakes of others without their consent

Everything doesn’t need to be banned you loon.

I don't think he's saying everything needs to be banned that's like the definition of a strawman argument you got there. (followed by about a dozen more back-and-forth comments)

Best of luck on that. Free speech laws in my country allow me to make a deep fake of you fricking a goat if I so choose. Distributing it over the internet is trivial.

Isn't facebook in its essence deepfake?


but real porno is ok ?

sure it is, its content made by voluntary actors...

you need Jesus
