Danish MP Seeks Extradition of Canadian AI Porn Site Operator
MrDeepFakes, a website known for non-consensual deepfake pornography, was exposed by CBC’s visual investigations team, revealing a Canadian pharmacist as a key figure behind the site. Following the revelation, a Danish MP is seeking the extradition of the pharmacist, David Do, to face prosecution in Denmark, where deepfake porn is illegal. The website, which hosted nearly 70,000 non-consensual deepfake videos and images, including those of Danish public figures, was shut down after the investigation. Currently, while Canada does not have laws criminalizing deepfakes, the Prime Minister’s Office has stated it will work to make both the creation and distribution of non-consensual sexual deepfakes a criminal offence.
