“ Minnesota House File 1606 would allow survivors to sue the owners of nudification apps for damages “

I have no idea how the law works in this case but if you could prove damages couldn’t you already sue? This is a guess but maybe this law clarifies what is considered damaging which is what enables them to prove damages where under previous definitions they couldn’t?

    I was just thinking, people have been photoshopping people's faces onto nudes forever. This legislation seems misguided.

    Not even considering the free speech implications.

      At a certain point, a difference in amount becomes a difference in kind. Anyone being able to nudify anyone else is very different from a limited number of people having the skill to nudify people in an application that has numerous other uses.
