There are broadly speaking two options, neither of which will ever be implemented. What will happen is young girls will learn to accept deep fakes are made of them and it's part of life, in the same way explicit sexual commentary starting at the age of ~9 is, or how men follow you when you go somewhere in public, etc. They'll accept nobody cares in the same way nobody cares if you're sexually harassed in other ways.

The two options are either the people in power standing up for the girls or giving the girls the power to deal with it themselves.

People who have power generally are benefiting from the structure in place and so don't want to change it and/or they don't want to do any more work. Expelling all the kids who create deepfakes would cause a lot of arguing from parents and people who are on the boys' side, and they just don't want to deal with that. It's easier to tell the girls to be quiet.

The other option is setting up a system that rebalances the power. For example, if a kid gets caught making deep fakes, give their victim access to every single thing on their devices: Private messages, Discord chats, images, etc. and let the victim decide who and what to release their private information to. Not going to happen.

Another reason nothing is going to be done is if we teach 11 year old girls it's not acceptable for people to do this to them, they'll carry that forward through their life and a lot of people who find it gross to create fake porn of children are fine with doing it to older women and they don't want to create women who create a fuss about it. There are a lot of people who think it's disgusting I was sexually propositioned when I was 10/11 but think it's fine I can't go for a walk in my neighborhood now without being bothered since I'm older.

No, you make it a crime and prosecute it. What loony tunes world do you live in where you start giving away peoples other info. This just incentivizes you to abstract your data like businesses abstract their profits.

Make it a crime. Prosecute it. This isn’t hard, unless you have a legislature that is incapable of passing laws. People are becoming fed up with this stupidity. Give it a few years and a few congressman kids getting targeted as it becomes more mainstream and things suddenly change. We’re at the leading edge of the stupidity, voters, families, politicians aren’t angry enough yet. It will change, legislation is cyclical.

That's what will likely happen. And that's why girls will just accept it. Plenty of harassment is already illegal, and it's still a normal part of life for women and girls.

And I agree that giving up that personal information would be a nightmare. That's one reason it won't happen. It's just probably the only analogue to what the perpetrators do that would actually scare them.

We're likely just going to put up with this state of affairs.
