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.

Without HOA boards, people would have landscaping that doesn't match their neighbors. It'd be anarchy!
