Many Korean female college students fell into the abyss of deep fake pornographic images
Before dawn in the morning, Jin Can's phone vibrated. She opened it and saw that it was a deepfake pornographic picture based on her photo. Before she could react, the other party sent a message through the social platform Telegram: "Hello, this is interesting, right?" Jin Can was shocked and her hands trembled. She tried to hold the phone tightly, and the phone kept vibrating, and one after another obscene pornographic pictures and several videos came. "Reply quickly, reply to me, and I will tell you who I am." Lying on the bed, she felt like she was falling into a bottomless abyss. It was the summer of 2021, and 28-year-old Jin Can was preparing to study in the United States. The sudden mobile phone message disrupted her life. After being bombarded with terrifying messages for nearly two hours, Jin Can trembled and typed keywords such as "Telegram" and "synthetic photos" on the Internet. She found that many Korean women have encountered similar situations. Jin Can called the digital sex crime victim support center she searched for, and the other party told her that if the perpetrator continued to send messages, it was recommended to call 112 to report the crime. The police operator told her: "Collect as much evidence as possible and go to the nearest police station to report the crime."
