Explained: Why South Korea is on high alert over deepfake sex crimes

South Korean regulators and police are taking action against sexually exploitative deepfakes by urging social media companies like Telegram to cooperate in cracking down on the practice. South Korea has been particularly targeted by deepfake pornography, with its singers and actresses being the main victims. The number of deepfake sex crime cases in South Korea has surged this year, with most victims and perpetrators being teenagers. South Korean authorities plan to strengthen laws to criminalize the purchase or viewing of sexually exploitative deepfakes, and police will intensify efforts to combat digital sex crimes. Social media companies like Telegram and YouTube are also taking steps to moderate and remove harmful content.
