Response to Deepfake Digital Sex Abuse in South Korea

South Korean authorities are responding to the increasing use of deepfakes for digital sex abuse, with a crackdown on Telegram chat rooms distributing fake sexual images. The victims, mostly women and teenagers, face violations of privacy and trust. The purpose behind these deepfakes is often to belittle women and express misogyny. Women's rights groups blame the government for not addressing the root cause of sexism, while the legal system struggles to recognize digital sex abuse as a serious crime.
