So a few weeks ago, a guy on Reddit came up with a tool for using AI to map someone's face into a video. Of course, it was immediately used to put celebrities into porn - something that up until this point has been no real issue.
However, it gained some news coverage because it looked kind of realistic, and now Reddit, Pornhub and Twitter have all banned fake porn.

Now I assume there has been a threat of legal action, because this content has never been banned before on any of those sites. So my question is, what legal precedent is there for someone to request a takedown?
I'm not sure that compares well. The reason cartoon images are banned, I assume, is because it is thought to promote pedophilia.
In this case, promoting lust for adults, is not a problem.
I don't think it would be handled as a 'porn' thing. I think it would probably be dealt with under copyright, and/or identity protections. Libel etc.
There's nothing criminal about the nudity, or images. It's just a questionable use of a likeness.
