Historically, early websites hosted crude image manipulations where the faces of popular actresses were pasted onto explicit photos.
Advanced digital tools, including AI, have made it frighteningly easy to create "deepfake" content. This technology allows people to superimpose the faces of celebrities onto the bodies of pornographic performers, creating highly realistic but entirely fake videos. This technology is already being used to generate and spread non-consensual content, leading some lawmakers to call for its regulation as a form of "digital rape".
If you or someone you know is a victim of such exploitation, know that you are not alone. Resources are available. You can start by learning about the laws against cyber harassment in India and reporting such content to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (https://cybercrime.gov.in/) or local authorities.
