      South Korean lawmakers have passed legislation banning the possession and watching of sexually explicit deepfake images and video, according to the Reuters news agency. The new law was passed Thursday by South Korea’s National Assembly. It now lacks only a signature of approval by President Yoon Suk Yeol before it can be enacted.

      Under the terms of the new bill, anyone who purchases, saves or watches such material could face up to three years in jail or be fined up to the equivalent of $22,600.

      It is already illegal in South Korea to create sexually explicit deepfake material with the intention of distributing the content, with offenders facing a sentence of up to five years in prison or a fine of about $38,000 under the Sexual Violence Prevention and Victims Protection Act

      For people unfamiliar with SK’s internet environment: there is already a fair bit of tracking going on by the government and quite a few subjects are already censored/blocked (esp. pornography & content/sites from NK)

      Isn’t the point that AI fakes are so good it’s hard to tell if they are in fact a fake? Good luck SK…

      In case anyone is curious why 53% of all deepfake stuff is of Korean women/K-pop girls- it’s because the models that are used to generate this stuff (models made by Chinese citizens, mostly) are *heavily* trained on Korean women, so that any time you generate a woman, it is going to look Korean or Chinese.

      Also, these Chinese users pump out thousands of nearly-identical images of like the same quasi-korean-looking “1girl” images every day.

      It’s so prevalent that if you search GIS for “Korean woman”, about 1/3 of Google’s results are AI-generated photos.

      Isn’t sexually explicit material of any nature banned in South Korea? Porn definitely is, or at least was when a friend of mine was there a few years ago.
