Fact check: Female politicians as a target for sexualized deepfake content | DW News

Female politicians worldwide are increasingly targeted by AI-generated sexualized deepfakes, which damage their reputations, intimidate them from public life, and perpetuate misogynistic narratives. The video argues that these attacks, while often originating from anonymous sources, exploit a lack of robust global legislation and platform accountability.

The report underscores the need for platforms and governments to establish proactive mechanisms to identify and remove such content.
