AI-generated nude deepfakes are part of a larger system of gender-based digital harms, expert warns - McMaster News
Deepfakes created with tools like Grok are the latest in a long line of digital harms targeting women and gender-diverse people, Alexis-Carlota Cochrane.
![How do queer* people experience online harm in Canada? [Please share!]
McMaster researchers are looking for queer individuals, aged 18 or older and residing in Canada, to take part in an anonymous survey. The survey asks about queer people’s experiences of harm on digital platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter (X), Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.
The survey is administered online in English and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Before beginning, you will be presented with a Letter of Information and asked to indicate your consent by selecting a consent button. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary, and you may choose not to participate or withdraw at any time after providing consent without any consequences.
You can access the survey by clicking the link in the post.

* For the purpose of this study, we use queer as an umbrella term to refer to those whose gender identity or sexual orientation fall outside of heterosexual or cisgender. Examples include asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, pansexual, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, Two-Spirit, and trans people.
This study has been reviewed by and received ethics clearance from the McMaster Research Ethics Board (#7697).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xl3qvnythgsmb75c3y2je6ez/bafkreiecmfnouebo2yzhoglqipcb6g65n6rjerq36z5luonzwiwvlr6ufi)
