We know that this technology can impact entire schools, colleges and communities, even geographic areas. From hearing women and girls speak about the trauma they experience when they are the subjects of deepfake pornography and nudification, this should be of serious concern to us all. The mental and emotional impact of this abuse on women and girls is so profound. The existence of these tools, and the constant threat of being a victim of nudification, is also having a chilling effect on women across this country. We know that the police have really struggled to prosecute users of apps such as ClothOff, which was one of these nudification apps, particularly as the technology spreads faster than regulations can keep up. I certainly believe we must do everything possible to make this type of technology illegal as a matter of urgency, and I support all the amendments in this group.
