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?
Legally you're not allowed to use someone's name or likeness without their consent for profit. However there are caveats to this for example artistic renderings and fair use can come into play. Of course there are ways to easily get around this, 1. put in your disclaimer that they are look-a-like renderings 2. claim that they are artistic renderings and any similarity to someone living or dead is coincidental. I'm sure there are other defenses to be used.
