随着人工智能技术的发展，名为DeepFake的换脸/换头算法悄然出现，上线GitHub后，算法得到了进一步优化。
于是，名为“DeepNude”的不可描述应用便浮出水面，用于算法“脱去”女性衣服。但是互联网并非法外之地，美国弗吉尼亚州采取了行动。
该州扩大了色情报复法 （revenge porn law）的范畴，将 deepfake 也包含在内，修正后的法律于当地时间 7 月 1 日生效。
Sharing deepfake revenge porn is now a crime in Virginia
A state law makes distributing "falsely created" images and videos a misdemeanor.

从 2014 年开始，弗吉尼亚州就出台了针对色情报复法律，但它并没有涵盖伪造的图像和视频——由于软件技术的进步，如今这种行为已经变得更加普遍。
Virginia has had a revenge porn law on the books since 2014. But it didn’t properly coverfabricated images and videos, an act that has become more common thanks to advances in software.
fabricated images and videos 伪造的图像和视频
深度伪造技术正以惊人的速度不断改进，这让美国联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 recoursebecause it’s not covered by current law. And yes, deepfake porn exists.

DeepNude 的应用，它利用神经网络将穿着衣服的女性图像渲染为躶体图像。

弗吉尼亚州扩大了色情报复法的范畴，修正后的法律于当地时间 7 月 1 日生效。未经当事人允许分享他人的裸露视频、照片属于违法行为，用于胁迫、骚扰或恐吓(coerce, harass, or intimidate)将被定为一级轻罪（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.

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

互联网不是法外之地：
1. Cyberspace is not a lawless land
2. Cyberspace is not "a place beyond the rule of law"
