It’s indeed thought police. But i suppose there’s a huge difference when the material is used for blackmail… and there’s also a risk it may be stolen and then shared publicly in which case it can be devastating for the victim. But if you keep the material well hidden it’s similar to if it was just in your imagination and hopefully that’s not illegal yet.

>in September, legislators passed an amendment that made possessing and viewing deepfake porn punishable by up to three years in prison.

This is insane.
