Not really, if you sell someone a fake map and pass it off as authentic... you could be liable of fraud. The problem isn't that people are being "undressed" it's that the images are circulated as authentic in order to harm people.

There's certainly legitimacy to the public distribution aspect you lay out. I imagine there are laws that'd almost cover that already. But if you look around this very HN post you'll see most of the calls are for making generation itself illegal, not distribution.

edit: you yourself argue for making generation illegal in a different thread up above.

I am less and less inclined to believe that people actually believe such images are authentic.

How about you try it out and send it to your mom and see if she believes it's authentic?

Or how about have someone else send it to your boss, work contacts, and coworkers? Whether or not it's authentic, that's irrevocably harmed your relationship with them and there is nothing you can do to reverse that.

How has it harmed the relationships?

you seriously think if your ex sent your boss fake nudes it wouldn’t have any negative impact?

you must one of the most understanding employers on the planet if this is the case

people believe the moon landing and the holocaust are fake, there's a very low bar and fakes get better every day
