is creating deepfakes legal? at the moment, yes. they’re using it in an obvious parody manner, so the “impersonation” claim is a stretch at best.
is “cyber stalking” legal? doing research using publicly available information is quite legal. stalking tends imply you’re harassing or intimidating someone, that doesn’t seem to apply here. conde nast told them to go away, and they did.
so, yes, i ask again: press charges over what? someone being uncomfortable or intellectually intimidated isn’t a crime.
"impersonating" - creating a video using their likeness and only sending it to that person doesn't actually count as impersonating.
"Literally cyber stalking" - sending them an ad. If this is illegal then linkedin would also be party to the crime, I'm guessing their lawyers have checked this.
This all is creepy AF but I'm fairly certain it's all legal (in US)
