This article reports on Canadian authorities charging two men for creating sexually explicit and violent AI deepfakes of dozens of women without their consent and posting them online. The piece relies heavily on emotional language and direct quotes from victims describing their fear and psychological distress to emphasize the severe impact of this technology and the perceived inadequacy of current laws. While it documents a clear instance of harm and abuse, it also implicitly pushes for legislative action by highlighting the legal 'loophole' regarding deepfakes in Canada.
