Discovering your name or likeness has been exploited in deepfake content can be a profoundly violating experience. As an attorney specializing in cyber harassment and digital privacy rights, I am dedicated to providing victims of deepfake abuse with expert guidance and legal assistance.
Understanding Deepfake Content and Its Impacts
Deepfake technology, which manipulates images and videos with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce realistic yet entirely fabricated content, has become a tool for often creating nonconsensual explicit content. This abuse can lead to severe emotional distress, damage to reputations, and threaten personal privacy and safety.
Legal Recourse for Victims
If you find yourself a victim of deepfake content, you have several legal paths to consider. Specific approaches depend on your jurisdiction, the content's dissemination, and the offender. A path to recourse may include a cease and desist, or filing lawsuits for several torts such as an invasion of privacy, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, or the right of publicity. As a privacy and cybersecurity attorney, I am here to navigate you through these complex situations and offer the legal support you need.
A Notable Example of Deepfake Misuse
In one recent controversy, Taylor Swift had been considering legal action against those who created and distributed nonconsensual explicit imagery infringing upon her name and likeness without her consent. While these allegations have not yet been explored through legal action, they exemplify situations where victims might want to seek legal action.
Taking Action as a Victim
As a victim of deepfakes, it is crucial to document all evidence of the abuse and consult with a knowledgeable attorney to explore your legal options. Additionally, you want to track all content generated, to maintain record for your attorney.
