Revenge Porn and Deepfakes: Protection of Privacy in the Era of Modern Technologies

Summary/Abstract: The development of modern technologies is inextricably linked to new means of privacy rights invasions. In recent years, many people have personally experienced one of them, the phenomenon of revenge porn (or more generally non-consensual pornography). Their intimate and/or sexual photographs or video records, which were either shared without their permission, or even taken without their knowledge, were distributed on the Internet. Since 2017, the threat has become even greater, due to the development of deepfake technology allowing to artificially create such recordings. Although it poses risks in different areas as well, it has so far predominantly spread in the area of illicitly created sexual re- cordings. In the future, almost anyone can find a pornographic video starring himself on the Internet, without him ever making one. Such eventuality naturally constitutes a significant interference with the right to privacy. This article addresses issues regarding the development of pornographic deepfakes and related legal aspects.
