Senator Lauren Book talks about her terrifying experiences in a British documentary.

In principle, anyone can end up in a porn video without their consent. In deepfake porn artificial intelligence can be used to create a nude photo or porn video that feels authentic. The person doesn’t really appear in them, but the end result looks like that.
According to a British documentary already found in Areena, 97 percent of deep fakes are porn, and the victims are women. In the documentary, both the victims and the perpetrators are voiced. One of the latter does not dare to tell his wife what he is doing. The other doesn’t worry about the moral side at all. He would only stop if deep counterfeiting was illegal and the risk of getting caught was high enough. That is not the case now.
In the USA, a senator talks about his own fate Lauren Book. Private photos were stolen from his phone and used to create a deepfake video. It became clear to Book when he had just taken his children to school. He received a text message extorting money from him in exchange for pictures. If Book didn’t pay, the extortionist threatened to publish the photos and the video – and destroy his career as a politician.
– I was in a panic. I was hyperventilating and shaking. I was shaking all over. It was awful. I wanted to die, Book describes in the documentary.

The extortionist was later revealed to be a man in his twenties Jeremy Kamperveen. He was caught in a coffee shop where he thought he was going to meet Book and get thousands of dollars from him in exchange for fake pictures. The police was there.
Kamperveen pleaded guilty to extortion and online harassment, but he was not charged with deep forgery.
– It’s about a sexual crime and digital human trafficking, Book reminds, however.
In his own country, he is pushing for changes to the federal legislation.
