She even does it to the military top brass, and they do it to her & her goons. In short, they're all low-rent garbage, so save your tears for the more worthwhile 1000s of political prisoners (MANY of whom are female) of this military-led, crime-family infested, American State Dept sponsored gang of thieves & cutthroats (eg: witness recent Islamabad massacre, helpfully ignored by the mainstream US media)
We can argue it shouldn't be considered a crime and I'd argue deepfakes should not be a crime. I'd also argue considering them so is close to "thought police".
And, I'd argue fighting them is a losing cause. They get easier and easier to make daily. Lots of papers at the most recent Siggraph on how to take a single photo and turn it into an deepfake, oh, I mean avatar for a game, model for virtual clothes fitting, etc...
How do you reach that conclusion? Deepfakes get shared, which has real consequences for people.
And no, i do not see the use of real photos and video to be material to this specific discussion.
I think this issue is a great way to evaluate the values and integrity of a society.
runs an extortion ring where 100s of judges, politicians etc are honey trapped & copious videos are made. She (& her husband) have OPENLY bragged about this, FOR YEARS. 1 judge (whose video was released by her team) committed suicide 3 years ago. The rest of the judges all toe the line (hence the laughable "lawfare" vs Imran Khan).
She makes J Edgar Hoover seem like a novice. Just keep that in mind ...
