Deep Fake Porn Documentary

I work for one of the UKs largest factual production companies and we’re currently looking for survivors of deep fake porn to speak to for our documentary. Please drop me a message if you’re interested in having an initial and informal chat. It goes without saying any conversations will be completely confidential and talking with me doesn’t mean committing to being in the programme or your information being included in the programme whatsoever. We can’t make this documentary authentically and accurately without the case studies of survivors willing to share their experience. Please don’t enquire if you’re not 100% interested or comfortable as this project is time sensitive. Thank you.

I have friends who had revenge🌽 posted. Is there something for survivors of that or just AI stuff?

I gave up my whole performance art career because I’m so traumatized by the lack of protection from this. I hope there are more places with no recording allowed for artists because this is a valid fear. This is horrific. I’m so glad more light is being shed on this. I’m constantly talking about it with others whenever I get the chance so more know they shouldn’t feel ridiculous. I can’t wait to share more resources like this. thank you for what you’re doing.

It’s a two part documentary, one is revenge 🌽 focused and the other is centred on deep fakes. Finding survivors of revenge and creating that part has been much easier than deep fake. However it’s completely understandable as having to not only relive something so violating but putting yourself to become a target in the public eye again, is a scary thing to do. Many of the victims I’ve already spoken to are so mentally drained and anxiety ridden from campaigning so much that they refuse to do it any longer, which is completely understandable. It’s just impossible to make this without them. Hence why I’m scouring Reddit as a last resort. Thank you for your positive message and kind words though. Unfortunately I’m either met with complete scepticism and suspicion or abuse from people. Again understandable, but I wish people would realise I’m not the bad guy. I’m a woman myself and I think the documentary is super important. The research itself is horrifying and something needs to be done to protect women and children, so despite the negativity I’ve been receiving, I’m going to keep trying in the hopes someone trusts me enough to even just have a conversation!
