Please sign and share the petition 'Tighten regulation on taking, making and faking explicit images' at Change.org initiated by Helen Mort to the w:Law Commission (England and Wales) to properly update UK laws against synthetic filth. Only name and email required to support, no nationality requirement. See Current and possible laws and their application @ #SSF! wiki for more info on the struggle for laws to protect humans.

Ban Covert Modeling! wiki has moved to Stop Synthetic Filth! wiki

Since the early 00's it has become (nearly) impossible to determine in still or moving pictures what is an image of a human, imaged with a (movie) camera and what on the other hand is a simulation of an image of a human imaged with a simulation of  a camera. When there is '''no camera''' and the target being imaged with a simulation looks deceptively like some real human, dead or living, it is a '''[[digital look-alikes|digital look-alike]]'''.

Now in the 2010's the equivalent thing is happening to our '''voices''' i.e. they '''can be stolen''' to some extent with the 2016 prototypes like [[w:Adobe Inc.]]'s [[w:Adobe Voco|w:Adobe Voco]] and [[w:Google]]'s [[w:DeepMind]] [[w:WaveNet]] and '''made to say anything'''. When it is not possible to determine with human testing or testing with technological means what is a recording of some living or dead person's real voice and what is a simulation it is a '''[[digital sound-alikes|digital sound-alike]]'''.
