    Would it be a crime to have access to the software, or would they need to catch the criminals with the images and video files?

    Problem with the former is that would outlaw any self hosted image generator. Any image generator is capable of use for deep fake porn

      Right, this is my point. The toothpaste is out of the tube. So would simply having the software capable of making deepfake porn be a crime?

      Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I’d be fine with that. I have yet to see a benefit or possible benefit that outweighs the costs.
