The recent surge of sexually explicit images and videos created using deepfake technology has prompted a nationwide investigation in South Korea, illustrating severe issues regarding digital privacy and exploitation.
President Yoon Suk Yeol emphasized during a cabinet meeting that these acts, often dismissed by offenders as pranks, are unequivocally criminal and represent a serious exploitation of anonymity provided by technology.
The investigation was instigated by the alarming findings of Telegram channels distributing explicit materials involving female minors, marking a troubling trend in digital abuse linked to the rise of deepfake technology.
Authorities are now focusing on seven male suspects, six of whom are teenagers, as part of the broader effort to combat the alarming prevalence of digital sexual abuse in the country.
