>You could ruin someones life quite easily with deep fakes, but not with your lewd poetry or sketches. So it seems reasonable to me to ban these with a blanket ban. A ban won't stop bad people from making them anyway. On the other hand, proliferation of deepfakes would make the existence of certain real or fake photos insignificant, as everyone would accept that anyone could make them easily.
