隨著人工智慧技術的發展，名為DeepFake的換臉/換頭算法悄然出現，上線GitHub後，算法得到了進一步優化。
於是，名為「DeepNude」的不可描述應用便浮出水面，用於算法「脫去」女性衣服。但是網際網路並非法外之地，美國維吉尼亞州採取了行動。
該州擴大了色情報復法 （revenge porn law）的範疇，將 deepfake 也包含在內，修正後的法律於當地時間 7 月 1 日生效。
A state law makes distributing "falsely created" images and videos a misdemeanor.
Virginia's ban on revenge porn now includes deepfake images and videos.
misdemeanor 輕罪；品行不端
revenge porn 色情報復
從 2014 年開始，維吉尼亞州就出臺了針對色情報復法律，但它並沒有涵蓋偽造的圖像和視頻——由於軟體技術的進步，如今這種行為已經變得更加普遍。
Virginia has had a revenge porn law on the books since 2014. But it didn’t properly cover fabricated images and videos, an act that has become more common thanks to advances in software.
fabricated images and videos 偽造的圖像和視頻深度偽造技術正以驚人的速度不斷改進，這讓美國聯邦和州的立法者措手不及。
The pace of this technology, which is improving at an astonishing rate, has left state and federal lawmakers flat-footed. Victims of deepfaked revenge porn often don’t have recourse because it’s not covered by current law. And yes, deepfake porn exists.
recourse 英文解釋「the legal right of alender to take assets belonging to the borrower in addition to the asset used to guarantee the loan, if the loan is not repaid」 追索權
DeepNude 的應用，它利用神經網絡將穿著衣服的女性圖像渲染為躶體圖像。
The app DeepNude, which existed until a warranted backlash prompted the creator to take it down, used neural network to turn an image of any clothed woman into a rendering of her nude.
neural network 神經網絡
rendering 渲染
維吉尼亞州擴大了色情報復法的範疇，修正後的法律於當地時間 7 月 1 日生效。未經當事人允許分享他人的裸露視頻、照片屬於違法行為，用於脅迫、騷擾或恐嚇(coerce, harass, or intimidate)將被定為一級輕罪（Class 1 misdemeanor）An updated law, which took effect Monday, expands upon an existing law that says anyone who shares or sells nude or sexual images and videos to "coerce, harass, or intimidate" is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
nude image 裸照
coerce, harass, intimidate 脅迫、騷擾、恐嚇
Class 1 misdemeanor 一級輕罪
Deepfakes are leading to growing concern about privacy. Last week, an app called DeepNude, which uses artificial intelligence to morph pictures of clothed women into nudes

網際網路不是法外之地：
1. Cyberspace is not a lawless land
2. Cyberspace is not "a place beyond the rule of law"
