Only, this has already been happening to those people. But when it happens to Taylor Swift, everybody from Elon to Satya flinches. And I don't expect this to change. She's apparently the queen of the US now, and it sickens me. I mean, I'd good on them for taking action... but I have zero faith that anything remotely like this would occur if my niece got a similar treatment.

Congress already started to act before the Taylor Swift stuff, based on a high school kid in NJ making fakes of a classmate. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/sharing-deepfake-could-lead-to-lengthy-prison-time-under-proposed-law/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/sharing-deepfake...

Wouldn’t you want the same response for anyone victimized online like this ? I don’t get your reaction

  >> I have zero faith that anything remotely like this would occur if my niece got a similar treatment. Note that I didn't say that I wouldn't want something done for my niece. What I'm saying is that Taylor Swift is being treated like royalty; to the point that she's actually supplanted the british royalty in the headlines*. I see this datum not in a pattern of protecting vulnerable people on the internet, but in a pattern of Taylor Swift blablabla. * not to say that I want those stories back... I don't even mind some celebrity drama in the headlines, but it's so monotonous when the media is so focused on a single person

    Funny, she rarely makes it into my filter bubble. I know her concerts are expensive, and she got out of a bad record deal by re-recording some albums, but that’s about it. I think there was drama about a guy she was dating who was maybe racist or something. Anyway, I’m not trying to imply you’re seeking it out, intentionally or otherwise, but it’s interesting how different our experiences can be online. Bizarrely, I see way more posts about Meghan Markle, and I’m not from the UK, so I’ve got no idea why.

      Ironically the “it sickens me” response is probably exacerbating the problem for this user
