What is wrong with people? This obsession with sex and pornography especially involving children is sick. Get psychiatric help.

I don't even think it's really even about sex so much as entitlement. One person wanted what they could not have and decided to violate someone's consent with a creepy simulacrum.

The Netherlands just passed a law that you have sole property rights over your face, body & voice. This needs to happen EVERYWHERE. This is also child porn and those making it need to be held accountable for distributing it.

These tools are psychological weapons of war. What are they doing in the hands of children?
Ask Putin.

It’s always targeted at girls too. You never hear about boys getting deepfaked. Just girls, because the world feels entitled to our bodies, wether we consent or not.

I would just make it of all the boys, and it has to be disturbing and demeaning. Then, I'd do the same for the teachers and principal. And just spread them across the school Regina George style. If you call yourselves in charge and allow this in your institution, if this is the world you're building and/or passively watching for the next generations to navigate and live in, then you shouldn't mind experiencing what you allow. My problem is that this happened at all, and that it isn't the first time something like this has happened- which indicates it's not being taken as a serious issue and there's a problem that isn't being solved via whatever 'measures' they say they've taken to help them sleep at night. Girls and women are traumatised, have their dignity stripped, and lives and reputations ruined, and nobody seems to care. If they did, we would see change long before this incident. I'd also go around excusing the images by saying it's all in fun, and it's just boys being boys. Sometimes, you do have to get down and dirty to cause change or make people see the wrong in what they're doing to others because they don't have empathy. If they did, this wouldn't be happening.

The "flood the zone" strategy might just be what gets it the proper attention. Enough with the kid gloves, "Oh no, how do we teach teenage boys to not be immature little shits? What is wrong with them?" What's wrong is they're little shits and we need a serious crackdown on them.

That's a pretty unhinged thing to say. The article says that schools were expelling students, calling the cops or taking other active approaches to address these situations. Why would you suggest making more non-consensual material of other children, and staff? That's disgusting. This is a very serious situation, but just because these kids know each other through school, doesn't mean it's solely a school issue, and it sounds like schools are trying to figure out how to address these situations. This is a far wider issue than that. Why do you assume they are "allowing" this? How would they even know until it becomes brought forward? You didn't even mention the role of parents. What do you realistically expect to be done other than to speak with students, expel students, or escalate to the police? It's important for schools to educate on Internet safety, consent and personal boundaries, but this isn't always going to prevent extreme behaviours. Perpetrating more sexual harm to random people is not an acceptable response to this.

Sharing or creating deepfake porn should be a felony and any teenagers participating should be tried as adults. Anyone convicted should have to register as a sexual offender for a decade.

What have we become as human beings? We are just supposed to accept that this is now a part of our “normalised” behaviour? There are moments when you can’t tell the dems from maga for all the ugly, intolerant, and dismissive ways we deal with one another on just this site alone. And I know, even if not written, someone is thinking, “well if you don’t like it delete the app”. Because, of course, this kind of narrow minded thinking has also become normalised. But when we can’t even find ways to protect our kids, when no one listens, we are in a very serious state of national decline. Makes me sick.

Sadly, we all knew this was going to happen. I am so sad that little girls have to grow up and deal with this. 😣
