  • The most deepfaked women are certainly actresses or musicians; attractive people that appear on screens and are known by much of the population.

    In some countries, they do not allow people to appear on-screen exactly because of that. Or at least, that’s one justification. If the honor or humanity of a woman depends on sexual feelings that she might or might not arouse in men, then women cannot be free. And men probably can’t be free either.

    At no point have I claimed that anyone is being liberated here. I do not know what will happen. I’m just pointing out how your message is harmful.


  • Historically, the respectability of a woman depended on her sexuality. In many conservative cultures and communities, that is still true. Spreading the message that deepfakes are some particular horrible form of harassment reinforces that view.

    If having your head on the model of a nude model is a terrible crime, then what does that say about the nude model? What does it say about women who simply happen to develop a larger bosom or lips? What does it say about sex before marriage?

    The implicit message here is simply harmful to girls and women.

    That doesn’t mean that we should tolerate harassment. But it needs to be understood that we can do no more to stop this kind of harassment than we can do to stop any other kind.











  • You still thinking that you don’t have the right to photograph people in a public place and post them on photography forums for instance.

    Put like that, that’s exactly correct. That’s not a recognized right in the EU, unlike data protection. That does not mean that it is forbidden, provided that the GDPR is followed.

    Beginning to think you’re trolling or you’re that dense that NASA might mistake you for a black hole.

    I have very patiently and kindly answered your questions and corrected your misunderstandings. I am not sure what you expect of me. Should I google explanatory links for you and paste the content here? I feel it would be rude to treat you like you are a child.



  • So I am free to take whoever’s photo I choose and in fact that extends to publishing those photos online

    That is unambiguously wrong. Please refer to Article 4 (1) for a definition of personal data.

    Also, your tone leaves something to be desired.

    You are quite welcome to look this up on the UK ICO’s website. It is funded by British tax money to provide information to people such as you. I am providing you free tutoring on my own time and you don’t seem to value that favor.

    Article 85

    Please refer to the article in question. You will find that it provides no exceptions. It contains instructions for national governments,



  • I know that because I do a lot of street photography and there is no law in the UK forbidding photography of people in public spaces,

    I didn’t write there was one. It sounds like you “know” that photography is “protected” because you need that to be true.

    it’s quite easy for you to Google this

    Indeed. For anyone who’s not good at googling things, I recommend the UK ICO.

    but I can’t provide you with a law condoning it as that’s not how it works.

    That’s true. You can’t because you are wrong. You should know that your take on the GDPR is nonsense. It sounds like you violate it on a habitual basis.

    Again show me in GDPR where it expressly forbids marching a face to a public dataset.

    What do you mean “again”?

    The GDPR forbids this in, of course, Article 6 and, more particularly, Article 9, but also gives exceptions.
