Avakian If it's "private" then legally there is no recourse. No one knows about that which is private. That is to say, if it were posted online publically then yeah there'd probably be an issue if a person objected to their image being used. However, for example, in my house RIGHT NOW I can print out a picture of a person's face and hang it up on my wall like a poster and no one will ever know. As such I'd say deepfake porn is "legal" as long as it's actually private. A business allowing tech that provides that capability is probably in a legal loophole as well because the act of changing a face doesn't not inherently imply a breaking of a person's image rights because theoretically you could change the face to ANYTHING that the upload box allows you to. I would agree though that it could probably be tricky. It wouldn't 100 percent prevent lawsuits unless no one ever sees the deepfake except the user.
