The UK is to criminalise the creation of non-consensual “deepfake” intimate images.
I can’t find more detail than is on the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68823042), but it appears that the offence will relate to creation, whether or not there is any intent to distribute.
Unclear whether possession of such an image created by someone else will be an offence.
Hopefully more details to follow.
