Because they don't want you to? What makes you feel entitled to do it?

[cvalka]

If you want to criminalize some act or behavior, the burden of proof is on you. What makes you feel entitled to use the State to penalize me for exercising my speech? She does not like virtual deepfake pornography. Tough luck. Donald Trump does not like the media calling him a loser. Tough luck.

Hiding behind legalism when people are talking about ethics and normative values is cowardly.

Speech that directly causes harm to others is not just about legality.

Harm from speech is completely subjective and that is why you need a generalized legal way to measure it as harm.

Normative behavior and ethics are subjective as well. They are also subjected to the whims of the mob of the moment.

More useless philosophizing, answer the post directly.

If a specific someone (like the author) says I do not want a deepfake porn of me, and someone else says I don't care, I made one ..

Was harm done? If no, why not?

[kcplate]

Ok, easy enough.

No…if there is no objective legal definition of harm to confirm the subjective understanding of harm in your example.

Yes…if there is an objective legal definition of harm to confirm the subjective understanding of harm in your example.

So you've just outsourced your personal moral code to the law? How ... enlightened you are.

Letting yourself be an empty vessel for the state to fill as they seem fit sounds sacrificial.
