Possible thanks to digital forgeries – so-called deepfakes. They are often almost indistinguishable from reality. Faces in photos or videos can be easily replaced using artificial intelligence. In the past, it was mainly celebrities who were deepfaked.

Research by “VOLLBILD” shows that today it can affect anyone. There are entire platforms dedicated to deepfake porn. There you will find a flood of fake pictures and videos, of influencers, actresses, politicians - and of normal women.

The goal of the deepfaker: to satisfy their porn fantasies with the fakes.

Exposing, degrading and humiliating the women shown. Unintentionally naked on the internet: a nightmare for those affected; they are often helpless. VOLLBILD journalist Filippa von Stackelberg delves into the world of deepfake porn and wants to know: How big is the threat? Who is behind revenge porn? How can I as a victim defend myself against deepfake porn? And what is politics doing about it?

HELP OFFERS: Those affected by deepfake porn often feel helpless and powerless. But there are ways to get help: The Federal Association of Women's Advice Centers and Women's Emergency Hotlines offers various offers and addresses for help: https://www.frauen-gegen-violent.de/de/hilfe-beratung.html
