The National Post reports in its Wednesday, April 22, edition that Ottawa is addressing the distribution of sexualized "deepfakes," with advocates calling for stronger action to remove these harmful images. The Post's Stephanie Taylor writes that as the parliamentary justice committee wraps up its study on Bill C-16, we remain hopeful. This legislation from the Liberals aims to combat gender-based violence and strengthen laws against the non-consensual sharing of intimate images by expanding protections to include "visual representations." The Post says it's a positive step toward a safer society. This language is designed to capture what police, victims' groups and school boards have been warning for years has been the proliferation of sexual images created by generative artificial intelligence. Michelle Abel, founder of a non-profit focused on combating the exploitation of women and children, said of the Bill, "They're missing the point when it comes to victimization and removal." The Take It Down Act, signed by President Donald Trump last March, aims to combat non-consensual sexual images, including AI-generated "deepfakes." It requires social media companies to remove reported content within 48 hours.
