Giorgia Meloni will testify at a court in the Sardinian city of Sassari in a bid to send a message about the problem
Italy’s prime minister is seeking €100,000 (£85,374) in damages after deepfake pornographic videos of her were shared on the internet.
‘Deepfakes’ are images or videos where the face of one person, in this case Giorgia Meloni, is digitally put onto the body of another.
Two men accused of making the videos, a father and son aged 74 and 40, are being investigated.
When I said “fuck that racist piece of shit”, it’s not what I had in mind.
Meloni is a trash politician who pushes Italy towards fascism, but I find it appalling that she’s being degraded specifically as a women this way.
There are enough valid criticisms and enough ways to satire her shitty views without sexualizing without her approval.I hope she loses in all the other domains but I hope she (and all the other people who have to go through this kindof stuff) wins this thing.
The risk of a Streisand effect here is pretty high. Hope she’s thought it through.
Regrettably, were going to see more and more apps and websites that just automate this kind of abuse.
It’ll be sold as a new way to watch porn. Just upload a few pics of your crush and check the boxes for which acts you want to see, and boom, you’re downloading it.
It’s gonna be a wild ride for a while, no pun intended.
Yeah it’s pretty messed up, not fair for anyone to experience this whether it’s Taylor Swift or this conservative PM.
conservativefascist PMFixed that for you. It’s important not to normalize fascism by pretending that it’s just your usual possibly somewhat benign conservatism.

That’s disgusting. Where? Someone send me the link so I know to avoid it.
previous research conducted by cybersecurity firm Deeptrace indicated around 96 per cent of all deepfake videos are non-consensual pornography, while women are targets in 96 per cent of cases.
I was vaguely aware the problem was bad, but 96% is just staggering.
