138 women MPs showed up on deepfake porn sites. Nine men did.
“In Europe, being a woman in parliament is 33 times more likely to put you in a deepfake catalog.”
The Story
A sweep of ~160 deepfake-abuse domains found 138 women members of parliament from 22 EU countries listed, depicted, or linked to nudify tools—versus nine men. That’s about 33×. Seniority raised the odds. Some pages are full videos; others are dossiers with official photos plus a three-click “undress” button. Shultz notified the MPs. Several domains vanished after journalists looked.
Why It Matters
Democracy now comes with a nonconsensual body file. Public office as a training-set membership.
