depressing but also incredibly unsurprising.

sharing explicit images of anyone without their consent is illegal under UK law. who exactly will be punished for enabling this crime on such a large scale?



There is upcoming legislation planned for this. It will (hopefully) make the tool creators criminally liable. That’s the plan anyway. I am sure it’ll be watered down massively.

i can see them with my own eyes. how are they not real? do you mean that they are fake? if i photoshopped an image of your face onto a similar looking (nude) model, would that also be a "fake" image? what if i shared it to your friends and family, and claimed that it was a picture of you? would the emotional impact to. you not be "real"?


The impact is very real, tho.


Yes and those people/companies who discriminate against women for having a nude photo online (real or fake) should be shamed and prosecuted.

"Companies look at your social media" is a form of behavioral conditioning propaganda, and a soft threat that if you don't comply you won't eat.


They are still potentially illegal in many jurisdictions.
