FYI, Pakistan is also in the process of releasing it's version of China's Great Firewall and has heavily leveraged the "AI Safety" argument for that [0][1].

Also, not having statues of naked women and/or naked men in public streets is morally wrong.
runs an extortion ring where 100s of judges, politicians etc are honey trapped & copious videos are made. She (& her husband) have OPENLY bragged about this, FOR YEARS. 1 judge (whose video was released by her team) committed suicide 3 years ago. The rest of the judges all toe the line (hence the laughable "lawfare" vs Imran Khan).
She makes J Edgar Hoover seem like a novice. Just keep that in mind ...
She even does it to the military top brass, and they do it to her & her goons. In short, they're all low-rent garbage, so save your tears for the more worthwhile 1000s of political prisoners (MANY of whom are female) of this military-led, crime-family infested, American State Dept sponsored gang of thieves & cutthroats (eg: witness recent Islamabad massacre, helpfully ignored by the mainstream US media)
And no, i do not see the use of real photos and video to be material to this specific discussion.
I think this issue is a great way to evaluate the values and integrity of a society.
I would also like to point out again that people still developing and productizing deepfake software or tools that underpin them, should take the morally only correct path and stop, and retract their work. It's a considerable net negative on society.
Hard to do if its happening to everyone
