Australia has announced plans to ban apps used for stalking and creating deepfake nudes.
Tech platforms will be responsible for preventing access to “nudify” and undetectable online stalking tools under the reforms announced on Tuesday by the Australian government.
Minister for Communications Anika Wells said Australia would work with firms to stamp out “abhorrent technologies” while ensuring “legitimate and consent-based” artificial intelligence (AI) and online tracking services were not adversely affected.
