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.

    Yeah it’s pretty messed up, not fair for anyone to experience this whether it’s Taylor Swift or this conservative PM.

      conservative fascist PM

      Fixed that for you. It’s important not to normalize fascism by pretending that it’s just your usual possibly somewhat benign conservatism.
