> The minister for victims and safeguarding, Laura Farris, said the bill sent the message that making deepfake images was ‘immoral and often misogynistic’ What is misogynistic is thinking that women's bodies are so shameful that using a computer algorithm to generate visual depictions of them without any interaction with the woman is inherently degrading or inherently harmful. Yes, they can be used for harassment. But so can a text message "XXX is a sl*t". So can a crude pencil sketch. The misogyny is in the intention and use, not any sense of realistically depicting the female body.
