Original: Celebrity accounts reveal distinctive victim-blaming in deepfake sexual abuse

New reporting highlights that when celebrities are targeted by deepfake sexual abuse, public reactions show a distinctive pattern of victim-blaming. Researchers say the familiarity of famous victims shapes how blame is assigned, with audiences more readily holding the victim responsible than in other forms of image-based abuse. The findings raise concern about how synthetic sexual imagery is normalized and how targets are treated across social media platforms.
