Girl, 15, calls for criminal penalties after classmate made deepfake nudes of her and posted on social media


Teenager Elliston Berry is calling on lawmakers to require that tech companies remove AI-generated pornography within two days of a report

The teen’s phone was flooded with calls and texts telling her that someone had shared fake nude images of her on Snapchat and other social media platforms. “This kid who is not getting any kind of real consequence other than a little bit of probation, and then when he’s 18, his record will be expunged, and he’ll go on with life, and no one will ever really know what happened,” McAdams told CNN. “It’s still so scary as these images are off Snapchat, but that does not mean that they are not on students’ phones, and every day I’ve had to live with the fear of these photos getting brought up resurfacing,” Berry said.
