Do we think the online safety community will ever recover momentum for the “Taylor Swift abuse is endgame for AI deepfake regulation” narrative?

2024-02-03 08:00:49+00:00

Unless Taylor someday raises it directly as an issue for 1+ of her fans, I feel this “regulatory opportunity” may be fatally swamped.

Taylor’s fans did a more effective job of hampering proliferation than any T&S team could, and (not least because of that) any & all potential audiences know the images are lies/fakes. So there is arguably no credible reputational harm to Taylor.

But emotional harm? Totally different matter, one for Taylor to drive.

I wonder what she’ll do, especially as someone who encourages other people to be strong. But I am pretty sure that the politicians and activists who thought they could drive the narrative are going to be frustrated.

Perhaps there is a song in it?

Obligatory Nitpick: And this is of course without consideration for control of “image rights”, where applicable, yadda…
