Pornhub Is Banning AI-Generated 'Deepfakes' Porn Videos (vice.com)

On Tuesday, Pornhub told Motherboard that it considers deepfakes to be nonconsensual porn and that it will ban these videos. "Deepfakes" is a community originally named after a Redditor who enjoys face-swapping celebrity faces onto porn performers' bodies using a machine learning algorithm. Motherboard reports: "We do not tolerate any nonconsensual content on the site and we remove all said content as soon as we are made aware of it," a spokesperson told me in an email. "Nonconsensual content directly violates our TOS [terms of service] and consists of content such as revenge porn, deepfakes or anything published without a person's consent or permission." Pornhub previously told Mashable that it has removed deepfakes that are flagged by users. Pornhub's position on deepfakes is similar to statements made by Discord and Gfycat, and in line with its existing terms of service, which prohibit content that "impersonates another person or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person."

For the most part what Trump had said which is really bad is on the record. While things that Hillary and Obama had done is placed in an overly complex chain of events to show some sort of devious long term plot. Now just because you are left leaning doesn't mean you get a free pass for your own mindless rants. I have heard plenty of bad arguments about Trump and the GOP that are just as crazy and complex as the right wing nut.
Trump is just a Bad President and a Bad Person. Thus it is much easier for more people to point out the problems, these people who do so may or may not partisan nut jobs.
A lot of the people who complain about Trump, may have been mostly silent if an other GOP President was in the office, even if they didn't vote for them, they will just take it in stride that they didn't get who they wanted. However Trump is on record stating things that are stepping on our rights, and encouraging fear who do not follow him, which is not the America that I want to live in.
