Since libel is "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation", what if the videos were titled appropriately, clearly indicating it is not actually the celebrity in the video.
Instead of "<Celebrity Name> <Sex Act>", it could be titled "DeepFake Rendering of <Celebrity Name> <Sex Act>".
While videos could still damage the reputation of someone (only in the eyes of those who disapprove of porn), there is clearly no "false statement" being made.

- pvaldes 6y agoThis is not about false statements. Is about lotta money. The body, image and look of famous people is their brand. Is why actress are generously paid to sell parfums, anti-age potions and lipstick and is the reason why lots of families take their children to cinema. Linking this image to porn (or racism, or anything nasty) in the previous week to a expensive film's premiere can damage seriously their investment and turn an innocent people into poison for box office In the same way, a deep fake porn of a candidate can destroy the lucrative source of business that represents being elected or not. My bet is that would soon be detected as a major treat for a lot of huge companies and will be crushed, nuked and drown in a lawyers tide before 24h from the release.
