South Korean lawmakers have taken a significant step in combating the spread of sexually explicit deepfake images and videos by passing a new bill. The legislation criminalizes the possession or viewing of such content, with penalties including prison terms and fines.
The move comes in response to a growing concern in South Korea over the proliferation of deepfake pornography in online platforms, particularly in Telegram group chats. These illicit deepfakes have sparked outrage and calls for stricter measures to address the issue.
