Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

One Telegram channel had 220,000 members creating and sharing doctored images and videos, with the president saying many of the victims and perpetrators are minors

South Korea’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, has ordered a crackdown on an epidemic of digital sex crimes targeting women and girls who become the unwitting victims of deepfake pornography.

Yoon’s criticism of the use, recently reported in South Korean media, of the Telegrammessaging app to create and share fake, sexually explicit images and videos came amid warnings that all women were potential victims.

Good. The possibility has always existed, but the advancements in diffusion models made creating this kind of content trivial and it should be clear that spreading around images without consent have serious consequences. Especially since a lot of times the targets are teenagers.
