Deepfakes have been a subject of controversy since their appearance on the Web. To create a deepfake, creators will take photos and digitally gather them into videos using artificial device learning intelligence. The result: a strange clip from someone who has never been filmed.

If you think deepfakes would be used to get you to vote one way or another, think again. Sensity, a deepfake online tracking company, recently discovered a bot service that creates traditional deepfake pornography from symbols uploaded through users. any photo, no matter how meek, can overlap a particular symbol or video.
The service was discovered in Telegram, an encrypted messaging application that hides communications between users.

All photos generated through the bot had a watermark, so users would have to pay a payment to download them without one. According to a survey conducted through the bot, most users were interested in deepfakes based on other people who knew celebrities.
This service was also not limited to a small customer organization: Sensity discovered that nearly 101,000 members were the service until the end of July 2020 and that a maximum number of users were discovered in Russia and Eastern Europe. In addition, at least 680,000 women had their symbol stolen on social media and used through the robot.
The network is still active right now, and many other women are at risk of being victims of service users without even knowing it. Unlike true revenge porn, which is governed by the legislation of various states and countries, deepfake porn is not “genuine”, meaning it slides through the cracks and cannot be fought also through the law.
