How effective are current legal measures against deepfake content, and what needs to change?
I ran into a weird situation recently that made me think about all this. A friend of mine got caught up in a mess where someone used her public photos to make a fake video, and even though everyone knew it wasn’t real, it still caused a ton of stress. When she tried to report it, the whole process felt slow and unhelpful, like the laws aren’t really built for stuff that spreads online in minutes. I’m curious how others see it — do current rules even work, or are we all playing catch-up with the tech?

I get what you mean. A couple months ago I stumbled onto tools that can alter photos way too easily, including sites like https://undress.app/ai-clothes-remover, and it made me realize how little protection people actually have if someone decides to misuse their images. From what I’ve seen, the legal side only works after damage has already been done, which doesn’t feel very helpful. I had to explain to a coworker how important it is to lock down privacy settings, because folks don’t expect their pictures to become material for fake content. Honestly, laws need to be quicker and more straightforward so people aren’t left on their own.
