Original: Betroffene in ganz # Europa : Mindestens 147 # Abgeordnete wurden Ziel sexualisierter # Deepfakes Eine neue Studie zeigt
A new study shows that at least 147 members of national parliaments across Europe have been targeted with sexualised deepfake imagery. Researchers documented how politicians throughout the continent have been affected by the manipulated content, highlighting the scale of the problem for public officials. The findings are drawing attention to the need for legal protections against deepfake abuse targeting women in politics.
Why now: The scale of deepfake abuse against elected politicians across Europe raises urgent questions about online harm and legislation.
