SPD Politician Calls for Stronger Laws Against Digital Violence Amid Deepfake Controversy
نقلاً عن [المصدر]
News Brief: SPD equality politician Wegge urges for a new bill addressing digital violence, highlighting the need for clearer legal boundaries to deter offenders. The issue gained prominence following allegations by actress Collien Fernandes against her ex-husband.
Wegge emphasized that clearer definitions of illegal activities in the digital realm could deter the creation of pornographic ‘deepfakes’ and other forms of digital violence, such as non-consensual tracking and the distribution of private videos. She noted that victims, especially women, are often dismissed in cases of digital abuse and called for society, law enforcement, and the judiciary to take these matters more seriously, similar to reforms seen in Spain. Federal Justice Minister Hubig plans to present the bill next week. The urgency of the topic was highlighted by allegations from actress Collien Fernandes against her ex-husband, Christian Ulmen, regarding AI-generated sexualized images. Fernandes has filed a complaint in Spain, where laws are stricter. Ulmen has not commented, and his lawyer claims the media coverage is unlawful, asserting that false information is being spread based on biased accounts.
