Does banning, or even criminalizing, AI-generated "deepfake porn" actually make it stop? Or does it just drive that activity into places that are harder to see?

![IRNA on Telegram:
🖥 Trump retreats, agrees to two-week Pakistan-proposed ceasefire
📌 Washington, IRNA – US President Donald Trump has once again backed down from his threats and announced that he would agree to a two-week pause in his war of aggression with Iran.
Trump had previously threatened to target Iranian power plants, bridges and other civilian infrastructure, which to many legal experts would amount to a war crime.
[...]
Claiming that the US has reached its military objectives, he noted that Washington has received “a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.”
The United States and Israel started a war on Iran on February 28 by assassinating Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and targeting a school in the city of Minab, southern Iran, which about 170 students and school staff lost their lives. At the time, indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States were underway with the mediation of some regional countries.
By attacking civilian infrastructure and the people of Iran, the United States and Israel have violated international law, especially international humanitarian law; these attacks constitute a war crime and have also targeted officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran with their overt state terrorism in violation of all international laws.
In defense and within the framework of its right to legitimate defense, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been targeting military and security positions of Israel in various cities of occupied Palestine, as well as bases and deployment centers of US forces in the region, with missile, drone, and air strikes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fjy6irjcf5ppn6baxxr54sad/bafkreidx6yqc5v4bhbpuwb3rrfoitkffz4blah22apqdim6yxkxvim4eqe)
![As progressive users increasingly see TikTok as biased, new platforms are capitalizing on the political defections, though that might not be a lasting strategy.
“If it’s exclusively a culture war play, then [there’s] only one type of user you’re going to get, and there’s going to be a ceiling to user adoption” for alternative platforms, said Hank Teran, CEO of the social intelligence and research platform Open Measures.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fjy6irjcf5ppn6baxxr54sad/bafkreih5m55drcfmc6e4ayv5x2yup6yxagolwwwnmogvmtyodq2sr6gtve)
![Yet there are some advantages that UpScrolled and Bluesky may have over their right-leaning predecessors in the alternative platform space. For one, a lot of “free speech” sites like Parler and Gab became drenched in Nazi and QAnon content that was offputting for more moderate conservatives.
“[If] there are no rules in place, you can get to this point of absolutism that makes for an unenjoyable experience on the platform,” said Teran.
Teran also said that Bluesky and Upscrolled seem intent on offering a better user experience, rather than just creating a new home for ideologues. Not only do they ward off viscerally upsetting content, but they’ve also made privacy and transparency a selling point.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fjy6irjcf5ppn6baxxr54sad/bafkreia7b6oow76zzf27ksrhkchkj4duwn22rk643bcw6h2qvl4bwabr2u)
