Sharing deepfake pornography 'the next sexual violence epidemic facing schools'
Sharing deepfake pornography is "the next sexual violence epidemic" facing schools, the author of a book on the spread of online misogyny has told MPs. Appearing before the Women and Equalities Committee (WEC), Laura Bates said there needs to be statutory guidance for teachers on how to deal with this "very significant issue". She said in every UK case she has investigated, schools have "paid thousands of pounds hiring PR firms to focus on damage reputation management". However, in terms of supporting girls and taking action against the perpetrators, "nothing has happened". She said of deepfake pornography: "It is happening, it's significant. Female teachers are affected, which often goes unnoticed, and schools are just not equipped to tackle it. "My suggestion would be this is the next big sexual violence epidemic facing schools and people don't even know it is going on." Deepfakes are pictures, videos or audio clips made with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to look or sound real. While it is illegal to create or share a sexually explicit image of a child, including a deepfake, the technology for making them remains legal. Asked what more could be done to help schools tackle the issue, Ms Bates said in the cases she is aware of "police investigations are ongoing" . However, she said she is not suggesting criminalisation of underage boys is the solution and what is needed is education, prevention and regulation. "It shouldn't be the case that a 12-year-old boy can easily and freely access tools to create these forms of content in the first place," she said. Ms Bates is the founder of the Everyday Sexism project and author of: The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny. She also called for "very clear guidance" on how schools should respond to this challenge. She warned of a repeat of failings that have happened previously with intimate image abuse, where girls have been "coerced into sending images of themselves" then punished for taking the image once it has been shared around - but the person spreading the image has not. Calls to ban 'nudifying apps' It comes amid mounting concern among MPs and experts about online safety for children, with many wanting the government to go further with its regulations on big tech firms. In April, a report by the Children's Commissioner for England found that nudifying apps are disproportionately targeting girls and young women, with many appearing to work only on female bodies. The commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza, called for an immediate ban on apps that use AI to create naked images of children, saying "there is no positive reason for these to exist". Inquiry into the 'manosphere' Ms Bates appeared in front of the WEC as part of their inquiry into how the "manosphere" and other online content is fuelling misogyny. The inquiry has previously heard how the rise of misogyny in young men in particular is not only affecting female pupils but also female staff, with sexual harassment towards teachers described as "rife". On Wednesday's session, the committee also heard concerns around the rise of the "sex tech industry", including robots and AI girlfriends, with fears this is having a wider impact on attitudes towards women and girls. Sarah Owen, the chair of the cross-party group, told Sky News she could not pre-empt what recommendations would be made to the government. But she said there was huge concern around the online radicalisation of young men, adding: "It was a boiling hot day but my blood ran cold at what I was hearing."

How dare Meghan lecture the royals on ‘truth'? Her whole brand is built on ‘LIES', expert says
MEGHAN Markle should not lecture the royals on "truth" as her whole brand is built on "lies", an expert has blasted. The Duchess of Sussex recently appeared on her podcast alongside friend Emma Grede, CEO of Good American, where she seemed to take several digs at the Royal Family. 5 5 5 Royal author and broadcaster Hugo Vickers and news commentator Samara Gill spoke to our royal editor Matt Wilkinson this week about Meghan's comments. On The Sun's Royal exclusive show, Matt noted how he was stunned at Meghan's latest podcast interview where she asked people to "tell the truth about her". Samara said: "The fact is she is a constant liar and her whole brand is built on a spin of lies." "I don't trust a word that woman says. I think it is very, very low for her to insinuate that we should listen to her truth or that the royal family should tell the truth. "The lack of authenticity in that interview is palpable." Samara added that perhaps the "revolving door of staff" the Sussexes have employed may shed more light on "truth". have joined a long list of people who over the years no longer wish to associate with the mum-of-two. Samara also referenced bullying allegations levelled at her from staff during her time at Kensington Palace. The royal expert added: "I don't want to listen to this woman about truth. "The fact of the matter is that she is a constant liar." On the podcast, Meghan revealed that she wanted people to "tell the truth" about her, when asked "if you you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?" The Duchess went on to share advice that she had received from Serana Williams regarding how she was viewed in the public after falling love with Prince Harry. Why Harry will not be happy after hypocrite Meghan published intimate moments online, expert reveals "My dear friend Serena, she told me years ago: 'A lie can't live forever,'" said Meghan. But Hugo, agreed with Samara on the issue and questioned how accurate Meghan's accusatory comments actually were. He said: "I think Samara and I, as well as others, do tell the truth about her and I don't think she likes it very much." The royal expert added: "No one would actually listen to Meghan Markle if it wasn't for the fact she married Prince Harry. "It's because she's married to Harry it gives the soap opera quality that seems to appeal to everyone. "Otherwise would not really care about her, a lot of other people are doing stuff similar to her on social media anyway." It comes after the Duchess broke her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. But conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan's bump was not real, suggesting she was wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly in the clip. Now, almost a fortnight after sharing the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram, the ex-Suits actress has defended her decision to post the personal footage. 5 5
