The U.K. government has announced plans to make the creation of sexually explicit deepfake content a criminal offense. This move follows the existing Online Safety Act, which already prohibits sharing such content. The initiative aims to address the rising issue of online abuse, particularly affecting women. Minister Alex Davies-Jones emphasized the need for tougher measures against this form of chauvinism. The legislation will be included in the upcoming Crime and Policing Bill. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to lack specific laws against deepfakes, with various states exploring options.
