The article discusses the challenges faced by victims of deepfake and revenge porn as new laws like the Take It Down Act offer some hope yet impose burdens on the victims. While the act aspires to create a structured approach for removing non-consensual intimate images, critics point out that it still requires victims to track and report their content, highlighting ongoing struggles. Additionally, experts warn that despite these efforts, the permanence of images online remains a concern, leading to emotional distress among individuals like Sabrina Javellana, who have suffered abuse from such content.
"These images live forever," said Joe Morelle, a Democratic US representative, highlighting the enduring impact of deepfake porn on victims despite efforts to combat it.
Sabrina Javellana, a deepfake victim, expressed frustration about the relentless cycle of reporting harmful content online, stating, "It just never ends; I just have to accept it."
Andrea Powell from Alecto AI cautioned that requiring victims to submit their own claims to different platforms increases feelings of isolation, shame, and fear, showcasing the psychological toll of such processes.
The Take It Down Act aims to establish consistency in removing revenge porn online, potentially acting as a deterrent for bad actors by clarifying the harm of posting AI-generated NCII.
