The main problem authorities have in terms of prosecution is that they have to prove the person made the images (as opposed to just finding them somewhere online and re-posting them). Secondly, the prosecution has to prove that the images were made with the intention of harassing or humiliating the person involved. Thirdly, the prosecution has to prove that the person making the images was doing so for sexual gratification (as opposed to just doing it for a laugh or out of boredom).

Example: posting an image of Holly Willoughby showing her knickers for shits and giggles isn't going to cross the theshhold of illegality. Sending that image to her personally and saying: "I'm jerking off to this image of you" could potentially get you into legal issues.

Example: Posting an AI photo or video of your ex girlfriend having her cervix rearranged by a big black cock and saying: "My ex girlfriend was a slag" could potentially get you into legal issues.

There is also the other issue of forums like this not taking due dilligence.

That's my interpretation of current UK law. Ps. Don't ask me to be your barrister. I better go, someone is knocking on my door. :)


None of this is true. In fact it's woefully ignorant. NaplesGuy appears to be referencing the old "revenge porn" law. I say "old" because it's no longer in force.

The current UK law is the Sexual Offences Act as amended by the Online Safety Act. Under the current law, the prosecution don't have to prove any of the things claimed above. All they have to prove is that the accused posted the images online, that's all.

Basically, if you post an AI altered "intimate" image of someone online, that's a criminal offence in the UK, punishable by up to 6 months in prison. The bad news is that each victim can be charged separately. In the well publicised case of Brandon Tyler, for example, although the maximum punishment is 6 months he was given a prison sentence of 5 years. His name was also added to the Sex Offenders Register.

What does this mean in practice? It basically means that if you have posted an AI created intimate image online, either in this forum or elsewhere, in the UK you are now a sex offender. You may not have been caught, but in the eyes of the law you are a sex offender.

PS. This is a link to Brandon Tyler's entry on the Sex Offenders Register. Notice it says he was convicted for SHARING manipulated images. That's all the prosecution had to prove, that he shared them.

Seems like a dangerously vague law. A photographer who shoots nude photos and uses ai enhanced programming could be subject to prison time for doing their job if a model chooses to argue that she wants her images removed. Obviously there are nuances but at the very least it could cost a lot of legal fees. Every Playboy photographer should be on notice. But yes, can we move this to a discussion thread?

Not true. Photographers are covered by the model release form.
Again, nuance and legal fees. They likely wouldn't end up losing but there could easily be a court case and a prudish judge can be swayed. British vs US legal systems obviously differ but here in the states it's happened in civil suits.

Can of worms is all I'm saying. But hell everything that goes on on this site is some form of illegality (copyright and various morality codes). So whatever. I'm going to stop discussing though because this isn't the place for it.

Not true. Professional photographers use well-drafted model release forms which rule out any possibility of criminal proceedings against them.

You said that photographers doing their job could be subject to prison time. You are wrong.
 
All I'm reading about just now is that ofcom are urgently trying to stop Grok, how long before someone is prosecuted for making these?
Not long fella. Today the UK government has asked the regulator to act in days not weeks. If I were in the UK and posting AI videos of UK people I would not be so sure someone wasn't investigating me in the near future. By doing that you are already breaking UK law and you don't know who is looking. If we can find this forum so can anyone else with half a brain.
