🧨 Deepfake Horror: How South Korean Victims Are Fighting a Silent War

In a world increasingly powered by AI, a terrifying new threat has emerged: deepfake pornography — weaponized to destroy innocent lives. 🇰🇷

For Ruma, a university student in South Korea, this nightmare became horrifyingly real when her face was stolen from social media and edited onto explicit bodies without her consent.

Overnight, her life was shattered. 💔

South Korea, a nation already battling hidden camera scandals and Telegram blackmail rings, now faces an even darker enemy: AI-generated humiliation. In 2024 alone, more than 900 students and staff fell victim, as the country struggles to catch up. 😨

While the government passed new laws — punishing possession and creation of deepfake pornography with up to 7 years in prison — survivors say justice remains painfully slow.

Platforms like Telegram are under fire for enabling these crimes, with activists warning that societal apathy is still rampant.

👉 Meanwhile, tragedy struck at a cultural festival in Vancouver — a heartbreaking event that shocked the world.

Fighting Back:

Some victims, like Ruma, took matters into their own hands. Together with journalists and activists, they infiltrated dark web chatrooms, gathering crucial evidence to expose perpetrators. In a dramatic sting, police arrested two suspects, uncovering over 60 victims linked to just one case. ⚡

Still, countless others suffer in silence.

"It broke my whole belief system about the world," Ruma said.

"There’s a long way to go until true change — but we will not be silent."

This is more than a battle against technology — it’s a battle for human dignity. 🛡️
