10 hours agoMan fined $340,000 for deepfake pornography of prominent Australian women in first-of-its-kind case
The federal court ordered Anthony Rotondo, also known as Antonio, to pay a $343,500 penalty plus costs on Friday after the online regulator eSafety Commissioner brought a case against him almost two years ago. Rotondo admitted to posting the images on a website called MrDeepFakes.com, which has since been shut down. The regulator had argued a significant civil penalty was needed to reflect the seriousness of the Online Safety Act breaches and the damaging impact the image-based abuse had on the women targeted.
