This is stickier than that in the US. I can paint a realistic nude and it's expression. Whether my tool is a paintbrush or neural network, as far as I know right now, makes no difference.
You might have some opportunity exploring a defamation action, but still, it's tenuous.
I don't have an answer, but I think we're looking at constitutional battles.
- meheleventyone 3y agoVirginia for example has made it illegal.
- ibejoeb 3y agoYes, but I don't think it has survived a challenge. Has SCOTUS heard anything at all in this area yet? I didn't think so, but I could be wrong.
- meheleventyone 3y agoI'm not from the US but intuitive haven't most laws not been challenged and heard by the Supreme Court?
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoI think there are only a few such laws. Supreme Court also routinely denies to hear the case if it wasn't challenged enough elsewhere.
- meheleventyone 3y agoI mean most laws in the general rather than specific context. To be more obvious, I'm pointing out that just because the Supreme Court hasn't offered an opinion that that doesn't delegitimize the law. As otherwise there'd be thousands? of laws in a similar boat. For further comparison revenge porn laws also have a similar potential for a first amendment defense but thus far have weathered challenges.
- jjcm 3y agoI think a great example of this at a high level is Kanye West's "Famous" music video, which features fake nudes of 1. George W. Bush 2. Anna Wintour 3. Donald Trump 4. Rihanna 5. Chris Brown 6. Taylor Swift 7. Kanye West 8. Kim Kardashian 9. Ray J 10. Amber Rose 11. Caitlyn Jenner 12. Bill Cosby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famous_(Kanye_West_song)#Music_video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famous_(Kanye_West_song)#Music... It ended up being received socially negatively, but legally didn't have issues and the video is still up on youtube.
