In the latest development in the deepfake porn case in South Korea, the police have launched an investigation into messaging platform Telegram over deepfake online sex crimes. As per reports, the probe has been launched to examine if Telegram was abetting the distribution of sexually explicit deepfake content. Besides Telegram, South Korean police officials have also called on other social media platforms to cooperate in fighting sexually explicit deepfake content. The development comes after several news reports alleged that sexually explicit deepfake pictures and videos of South Korean women, including K-Pop idols and Korean actresses, were often found in Telegram chatrooms. Several chat rooms on the messaging platform are suspected of creating and sharing deepfake pornographic material with doctored photos of ordinary women and female service members. Not only Korean women but also female K-Pop idols and Korean actresses have also been targeted in the deep fake videos allegedly being shared on Telegram.
