Comments by "Seven Proxies" (@sevenproxies4255) on "How Serious Is the Deepfake Porn Issue in Korea? | Street Interview" video.

I think deepfake porn could be a blessing in disguise that women should welcome. The more common it becomes, the less impactful things like revenge porn or a previous career in the adult industry will be. Think about it: let's say you're worried about your chances of getting or keeping a particular job because maybe you worked in porn in the past or you have an ex who couldn't deal with the break-up like an adult and decided to post intimate pictures of you online. You now have an easy way out of it. If people ask, just say someone must have lifted your face from pictures in social media and used an AI prompt to make deepfake porn of you. Even if real pictures of you have been leaked, you can blame online perverts with AI and have more than plausible deniability. The more common it becomes, the more aware employers, co-workers, family and friends will be and will probably just be sympathetic since it could happen to anyone. And if you don't have a sordid past at all, then you can blame the same thing.

@t1sk1jukka It's going to be normalized whether you want to or not. You can't legislate away the advancement of technology. Throughout history we have all had to adapt to technology and almost never the other way around. I'm not trying to encourage or normalize bad behaviour. I'm coming up with a plan that deflates the harm women could suffer by the practice. So you can either take my advice, or continue being angry at deepfakes being made... Forever. Because it will never stop, no matter what you do or what society does. The genie is out of the bottle. You can't put it back inside.

@Swiplys Well It's a bit much to expect people to not post selfies on social media. That if anything is very normalized nowadays. As for the deepfake porn: the more common it gets, the less likely people will make negative assumptions.

@trancer4e4life I don't believe it will. The desenstization you experience is part of growing up. A lot of bad things happen in the world all the time. It's always been happening. If we always ended up feeling as strongly about every incident we merely hear about as the first time we heard about an awful crime, it's fair to say that we'd go insane. That's why reactions to crimes that do not happen in our near vicinity get a bit dulled with age. It's a coping mechanism. Trust me though, if you ever witness horrible and violent crime first hand. You will be shocked. I too thought I was completely desensitized for a time after having read about gruesome murders and seen atrocities in pictures and videos. I thought nothing would give me pause anymore. And then I saw just a "regular" beating in real life where the victim was badly injured. It was a very shocking experience. The only thing more shocking was when I was involved in a knife fight and had to defend my very life. What these experiences have taught me is that if people live such sheltered lives that all they have to get upset by is deepfake porn, they're really some of the lucky ones. What I despise about our current culture is how we've normalized outrage over the most insignificant and tangibly harmless things (like deepfake porn). People in general really lack perspective of how much worse off they could be when they let such minor grievances get under their skin like that. Every person do exert a degree of control over how badly they let things affect them emotionally. And I will never stop encouraging people to seize that control for themselves, because I genuinely believe that you'll be a better person and have better mental health when you stop believing that every little grievance, insult or slight means the end of the world.

@trancer4e4life You consented to having pictures used by anyone as soon as you posted them online i'm afraid. As long as software freely allows anyone to copy/paste images from the internet you practically lose control of anything you upload by default. You should have known this before you posted your selfies. Grow up and take some responsibility of your actions, would be my advice. And no I have never even used an AI prompt in my life, and I don't really have any reason to do so. Nice strawman though. Furthermore, making deepfakes is not a crime.

@trancer4e4life Yes you are. Like I said: you gave away your exclusive rights to ANY picture or video of yourself that you post online. You made them available for anyone to use them as they see fit. Your only legal protection is if they use your material for profit. But any non profit activities is completely free and legal. How did you not know this? There's a reason why your parents probably cautioned you from posting too much personal information online, including images and videos. You have no legal right to claim "privacy" when you made all of this material public. Before playing the game, you really should learn the rules.
