The story

A father has been accused of utilizing deepfake technology to create and distribute non-consensual pornographic imagery of his children's mother. In addition to the creation of synthetic media, allegations suggest the individual impersonated the victim online to engage in sexual communications with other men under her identity. This incident has sparked significant public backlash, centering on the use of AI for 'image-based sexual abuse' and digital identity theft. The controversy gained momentum on social media as observers questioned the ethics of defending such actions.
