UK Blocks Access to Deepfake Pornography Websites Due to Legislation
Websites hosting non-consensual deepfake pornography have started blocking access from the United Kingdom following the announcement of new legislation criminalizing the creation of such content. This move is seen as a significant step in combating deepfake abuse by preventing easy access to harmful material. The technology behind deepfakes has rapidly advanced since 2017, leading to the creation of numerous websites and apps that generate explicit content without consent, including incidents involving school children. The UK restrictions may reduce the audience seeking or producing deepfake sexual abuse material.
