South Korea faces deepfake porn 'emergency'
[BBC] South Korea’s president has urged authorities to do more to "eradicate" the country’s digital sex crime epidemic, amid a flood of deepfake pornography targeting young women.
Struggling sex workers unite!
Authorities, journalists and social media users recently identified a large number of chat groups where members were creating and sharing sexually explicit "deepfake" images — including some of underage girls.

Deepfakes are generated using artificial intelligence, and often combine the face of a real person with a fake body.
Ah.. The issue is not the p0rn, but that real girls’ faces are being attached to it, ruining their reputations. Nasty.
South Korea’s media regulator is holding an emergency meeting in the wake of the discoveries.

UNDERAGE VICTIMS
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Tuesday instructed authorities to "thoroughly investigate and address these digital sex crimes to eradicate them".

"Recently, deepfake videos targeting an unspecified number of people have been circulating rapidly on social media," President Yoon said at a cabinet meeting.

"The victims are often minors and the perpetrators are mostly teenagers."

The spate of chat groups, linked to individual schools and universities across the country, were discovered on the social media app Telegram over the past week.

Users, mainly teenage students, would upload photos of people they knew — both classmates and teachers — and other users would then turn them into sexually explicit deepfake images.

The discoveries follow the arrest of the Russian-born founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, on Saturday, after it was alleged that child pornography, drug trafficking and fraud were taking place on the encrypted messaging app. # id) ?>

Korean teenage boys don't have a emotional outlet like ripping tampon containers off the boy's restroom walls.
