Remembrance Day

My lads team's WhatsApp group has been interesting this morning. First reposting a fake audio purporting to be Sadiq Khan calling for armistice day to be moved to accommodate the march - of course calling him a racist cunt, why doesn't he fuck off etc. It went quiet for a bit when I told them it was fake. Then I was treated to little emoji claps of approval for Douglas Murray's interview where he appeared to suggest that if the police won't protect us from those disrespecting our sacred traditions then someone else will have to. I fucking despair.

It being wrong and it not being criminal are two different things.

 

It doesn't, yet, constitue a crime which is true.

How is attributing something to someone that is patently not true not a crime? Because it is a libel and a civil case rather than criminal? Surely this is incitement to disorder which must be criminal?

Fake/deepfake videos are going to have to come under the umbrella of libel.

 

Yeah, they'll have to be some legislation soon.

 

The can be criminal in sexual harassment cases and that is their only real censure as of now, I think.

 

Facebook are leading the charge and getting ahead of things by ensuring that any digitally doctored image has to be identified if it is sent through political organisations.

Maybe under another law, but there's no law currently against it, except in the case of sexual harassment.

It has become a big problem with high school age girls in the US - deepfake nudes and porn.

 

At least thats what I have heard...
