Hindustan Times AI Deepfake Sexual Abuse Rocks Europe: Collien Fernandes Case Prompts Plans For Change In German Law

Germany is preparing new legislation to criminalize pornographic deepfakes, with Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig pushing for stricter laws against digital abuse. The move follows a complaint by actress Collien Fernandes, who alleged identity theft and exploitation through deepfake content. Officials say the draft law is nearly complete and will make both creation and distribution of such material a criminal offence. The proposal also aims to expand police powers to investigate offenders, marking a significant step in tackling online violence and protecting victims in the digital age.
