This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Digitally created and altered sexually explicit material that is shared without consent is a damaging and deeply distressing form of abuse,” Dreyfus said.
The change is part of a suite of moves aimed at reducing the incidence of violence against women and addressing the role that technology, including social media, plays in spreading and normalising violent, degrading and misogynistic imagery and ideas.
They include a review of the Online Safety Act and proposed measures to address doxing – the use or publication of private or identifying material with malicious intent.
Outlawing the sharing of non-consensual deepfake pornographic material was among the commitments arising from a national cabinet meeting on 1 May, at which first ministers pledged themselves to the goal of ending violence against women within a generation.
On Saturday, Dreyfus said the government wanted users of technology to understand that it is not only the creation of degrading images without someone’s consent – whether depicting real people or created digitally – that causes harm but the act of sharing them.
“The government’s reforms will make clear that those who share sexually explicit material without consent using technology like artificial intelligence will be subject to serious criminal penalties,” Dreyfus said.
