Labour will ban the creation of sexually explicit deepfakes.
The bill's long title explicitly states it will 'create offences relating to... the creation of, or solicitation to create, a non-consensual digitally produced sexually explicit photograph or film'. This directly addresses the promise to ban the creation of sexually explicit deepfakes, as deepfakes are digitally produced non-consensual sexually explicit images. The bill criminalizes creating such content, which constitutes a ban on the activity promised.
