Why this one case? Why isn't creating a deepfake of, say, a political figure taking a bribe also an offense?

Why this one case? Why isn't creating a deepfake of, say, a political figure taking a bribe also an offense?
- pelagicAustral 3y agoWhat's fake about a politician taking a bribe?
- jquery 3y agoAt least in the USA, our Supreme Court has basically legalized bribery. It's a 9-0 consensus, in their mind bribery is just how democracy works. This is what happens when ethics rules don't apply or are repeatedly ruled unconstitutional (something something fox guarding the henhouse), your term is for life, and you wield silly amounts of unchecked power.
- ceejayoz 3y agoWouldn't that be plain old defamation?
- chrisjj 2y agoNo, because defamation requires distribution.
- causal 3y agoI think you're right that there is a ton of focus on sexual imagery but not enough thought being put into the wider context of how easy it is to fake imagery (and soon audio and video). Plenty of people would still be disturbed to see fake videos of themselves fully clothed.
