Women deepfake (Feb 2026)

The article discusses a policy proposal by Keir Starmer to combat the spread of deepfake nudes and revenge porn. It mentions an incident where X's Grok chatbot generated nonconsensual images of women in bikinis and compromising positions. The article also refers to a rise in deepfake images being used to blackmail young women and men. The aim of the proposed policy is to force social media companies to remove deepfake content in under 48 hours, with the media regulator Ofcom responsible for enforcing the ban on the images, with the aim to remove the onus on victims to need to report the same image potentially thousands of times as it is continually reposted.
