OK if there is no malice.But what is the line ...?
Isn't a deep fake used to hinder the 2020 presidential election?With the growing concern, California has become a state that banned the use of political motives.
No malicious political use, production and diffusion without consent are prohibited
On Thursday, California's Gabin Newsam Governor signed the AB730 bill and made it illegal to create or distribute the impersonated videos, sounds, or photos of political candidates.
He further signed the AB602 bill.It is a bill that allows residents of California to take legal measures to those who distribute deep -fake porn content without legal consent.
But when I looked it up, there was almost nothing political
A new survey on Deep Fake, published by Cyber Security Company Deep Trace, has shown that the overwhelming majority of deep fake images contain pornography that has not been agreed.
According to the survey, 96%of the deep fake posted online is sexually explicit, of which 99%use women working in the entertainment industry.
The main target of Deep Fake, which became a weapon, is an unonforced situation.
The word of the reporter who examined
Here is a tweet by Joseph Cox, who is good at hacking and criminal articles on Motherboard and wrote an article on VICE.
It's Almost as if a Technology and Tool Created for The Explicit Purpose of Targeting and Harassing Women is Going to BEUSED Mostly for Targeting and Harasing Wright.THOSE JUMPING ON THE DEEPFAKES HYPE NEED TO GET SOME REAL WORLD PERSPECTIVE OF ACTUAL VICTUAL VICTIMS.
— Joseph Cox (@josephfcox) 2019年10月7日Everyone exaggerates the threat of the "Deep Fake" election: Thousands of deep fake videos, the majority are uneven pornography, not fake news or political things.all right.100%of the analyzed porn videos were women.
It seems that the technologies and tools created for the clear purpose of targeting women as targets and harassing them are used mainly to target women as targets.Those who jump on the Deep Fake's hype need to know the real world perspective that the actual victims see.
Recently used videos were not a deep fake
However, one of the most widely spread videos recently was not a deep fake, but a target of a certain woman, and was used for political purposes.
In May, a video of the video of the video, which shows the unclear words of Nancy Peloshi, was viral on the net.However, this was mainly due to retweeting a video shared by Fox News by President Donald Trump.This event was the most obvious and public example of how crafted videos were misunderstood, distorted remarks, and used in hacked news cycles.
It is becoming more technically easier
Currently, California has a way for people to take measures against these videos.However, these videos only make it easier to produce with rapidly developing deep fake technology and audio visual editing software.
The law is quite limited
Mark Bermann in California wrote a political deep fake bill.He states in his statement:
For those who want to conduct a false information campaign to confuse voters, Deep Fake Technology is a powerful and dangerous, which is false in the context of the election, that is, the behavior of a candidate that never occurred.It will be a new tool
This law applies only to the deep fake released 60 days before the election.However, a deep fake that clearly has a strong sense of work and is essentially a satire is excluded from the law.This is intended to make the law do not violate the protection of speech freedom.
Texas was the best ride
Last month, Texas was the first state that one month before the election, the law that made and shared a political deep fake video that distorted political enemies was a minor offense.
It is almost certain that California and Texas will struggle to enforce these laws before the 2020 election.However, it is a good sign that the state council has finally begun to examine the potential of the devastated society that has been caused by the rapid increase in the technology.
