Yes, I think so. I think, more than anything, that it would signal this as a form of violence, given how much it is doubted. The study in 2023 that I mentioned assessed 95,000 different deepfake sexual abuse videos and also asked people, “Do you feel guilty watching these?”, and overwhelmingly people said no. There needs to be a signalling of this as a form of violence in recognition of that.
Criminalization is important, but in addition to that, it's also education, especially with youth. We're seeing young people increasingly use this technology that could be harmful in a way that perhaps immediately goes to concerns about criminalization and shame. In a way, that promotes sex positivity and sexual expression, but it shares how harms could be produced.
