South Korea is taking a tough stance against the consumption of deepfake pornography, threatening viewers with up to three years in prison and hefty fines. The country’s Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced plans to crack down on the creation, distribution, and viewing of deepfake porn, which involves using artificial intelligence to superimpose a person’s face onto explicit videos without their consent. Offenders could face up to three years behind bars or a fine of up to 30 million won (around $22,000). The move aims to protect individuals from having their images exploited and to combat the growing problem of non-consensual deepfake porn. South Korea is one of the first countries to specifically target viewers of deepfake porn, reflecting the severity of the issue and the government’s determination to address it.
