Is Germany equipped to tackle deepfake sexual violence? | DW News

From DW News.

The debate over online gender-based abuse has been gaining pace this week in Germany after media reports revealed serious accusations by a prominent actress. Collien Fernandes — who is a former DW presenter — has accused her ex-husband of spreading AI-generated deepfake pornographic images of her online. Fernandes has filed a legal complaint against him in Spain, which has stricter laws against digital abuse. On Friday, Germany’s justice minister announced plans for new legislation to crack down on sexualized deepfakes. On Sunday thousands gathered in Berlin to protest online sexual violence and show solidarity with victims of such abuse.
