Female MPs Unite to End Deepfake Pornography with New Plan, Calling It 'Digital Rape'
Fifteen female members of parliament from both left and right-wing parties in the Netherlands have joined forces to combat deepfake pornography, describing the non-consensual AI-generated videos as a form of digital rape. One in four female MPs reported being victims, with politicians such as Caroline van der Plas (BBB), Ingrid Coenradie (JA21), and Esther Ouwehand (PvdD) affected. The coalition is advocating for a low-threshold reporting point for victims, strict enforcement of an upcoming ban on AI-generated nudity starting December 1, and a national awareness campaign. They emphasize the need to protect women and girls while ensuring perpetrators are held accountable.
