Digital creators are increasingly facing a troubling challenge: the malicious use of AI to generate non-consensual synthetic content. One prominent content creator recently shared her experience with this invasive issue, describing how deepfake technology was weaponized against her. In a striking example, another streamer was publicly exposed for possessing and potentially distributing AI-generated synthetic images of a fellow creator without consent. This incident shines a light on a growing concern within creator communities—how rapidly advancing AI tools can be misused to violate personal boundaries and intellectual property. The situation raises critical questions about platform accountability, creator protection mechanisms, and whether existing digital rights frameworks can keep pace with synthetic media technology.

Deepfake technology is really outrageous... But to be honest, the platform can't really control it at all, as technological updates can't keep up with the speed of crime.

NGL, this is really outrageous. Deepfakes are one thing, but they can be directly spread? Is the platform just sleeping through this?

Good morning, 3 a.m. To be blunt, this is an upgraded version of the liquidity trap—creators become chips, platforms harvest profits, and the law collects dust. The deepfake set is even more disgusting than sandwich attacks; at least the latter requires technical skill.

Deepfake is getting more and more outrageous, it feels impossible to defend against... Can the platform do something proper? --- It's AI and deepfake again, now creators are really becoming lambs to the slaughter. --- Basically, the law can't keep up with technology, and it will take forever to regulate. --- If this trend continues, in the future, your face might not even belong to you, it's terrifying. --- Using others' content to generate obscene images? These people really have no bottom line. --- The platform should take responsibility; they give these scumbags so many loopholes. --- This is true infringement, much more serious than plagiarism, okay? --- Every time I see this kind of news, I want to smash my phone. Humanity is really hopeless.

That deepfake technology is really outrageous. Never thought it would become a harassment tool so quickly.

These days, deepfake is really outrageous. Some people are using AI image generators as tools for crime... --- Why do platforms always react only after the fact? There should have been mechanisms to prevent this from the start. --- Once again, AI misuse. Creators are really having a hard time... being arbitrarily synthesized into content with no way to argue. --- Is there still a legal gap when it comes to synthesizing obscene images? Who's going to regulate this? --- To be blunt, incidents like this will only increase unless platforms take strict measures to crack down.
