I feel like this is a problem without a solution, or at least without a solution more expensive than the problem:
* I suspect that, like prohibition or DMCA, criminalizing behavior will lead to worse outcomes than accepting deepfake porn sometimes happens, at least if laws are passed targeting this in isolation.
* I suspect that before acceptance, many people will be harmed, on both sides. Humiliated teen girls. Immature hormone-driven teen boys.
* I suspect that we'll see a range of bigger problems such as real scams where, for example, a deepfake child calls their elderly parents and empties their bank account. Or, perhaps, a deepfake general calls someone in a nuclear bunker.
* Deepfakes are at the tip of technological problems which need solving. We have other things, like the cheap and easy availability of technology to make the next Covid-19. The point is we have the technology to make it in a lab, and the price point is going down by an almost Moore's Law like curve.
I don't see a good solution short of completely rethinking democracy and capitalism from scratch. The first time around took the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Revolution.
It's perhaps time to do that.
Prove me wrong. Seriously. If there are incremental solutions which stop deepfake porn, deepfake scams, personal drone strikes, and super-viruses, please let me know what they are.
