Do we need stricter laws controlling non-consensual image sharing?
Yes
There are already laws in some countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom, and most of the United States, and while others often have some from privacy legislation that can cover image-based sexual abuse, according to Law professor Mary Anne Franks most of these laws do not go far enough. While the UK is currently considering legislation to hold social media companies increasingly accountable for possible ‘deepfake’ images distributed through their services, it is likely that legal frameworks will be playing catch-up with rapidly evolving technology for quite some time. However these acts should be recognised as the crimes they are, they can also be linked to other forms of cyber crime such as sexual extortion, and they can damage mental health and ruin victim’s lives.
