I'm as suspicious of "think of the children" stuff as anyone here but I don't see how we are fighting for the rights of the people by defending non-consensual deepfake porn impersonation, of children or anyone.
If someone makes deepfake porn of my little cousin or Emma Watson, there's no scenario where this isn't a shitty thing to do to a person, and I don't see how the masses are being oppressed by this being banned. What, do we need to deepfake Joe Biden getting it on to protest against the government?
Not only the harassment of being subjected to something like this seems horrible, it's reasonable to say that people ought to have rights over their own likeness, no? It's not even a matter of journalistic interest because it's something completely made-up.
Mr. Vulpine, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this chat room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Any reason why you are quoting Adam Sandler movies at me?
Because if you have any criticism you could at least be specific and original.
Ahhhh, fine. It's reasonable to say that people ought to have rights over their own likeness? So if you're walking down the street and someone's recording you, what? You melt down over your likeness? Hide in your house for fear that someone will take a picture of you?
Don't you know? People already do have rights over their likeness and we already have laws regarding that. To some extent you are allowed to record public locations and events, and you don't need to seek permission to every passerby. But it doesn't mean you can record people and use their images in every location and situation.
Not to mention, we are talking about deepfakes made to look like specific people. I don't think you are going to accidentally pass by someone's deepfake porn while taking selfies on the streets, so there's not much point of bringing this up.
So someone is gonna tell you when they use your picture/ video for their personal use?? Lol bro
Which is why the proposed bill targets distributors.
You talk about it as if you never seen laws that apply to the internet before.
