In Telegram groups, men are sharing thousands of nonconsensual images of women and girls, buying spyware, and engaging in doxing and sexual abuse.

    including nonconsensual intimate images of women, so-called nudifying services

    That’s just photoshop nudes with extra steps.

    Are we calling stable diffusion a hacking tool now? What about image editors like GIMP?

    This is just sexual harassment/abuse, which was always there, moving along to new tools. The tool isn’t the problem, the people are.

      Decreasing friction is a problem though. In the past, you needed at least some basic skills to e.g. photoshop a compromising photo of someone (and quite a lot of experience to do so convincingly), whereas current AI tools can do this far better with no skills required.

        Sharing images without consent is hardly a new thing either and requires no more skill than copy/paste. Perhaps that would have been a better example to go with.

      Agreed. Not only are harassment and abuse not new, but using actual hacking tools to do it is old news too. Maybe the article is just trying to bring it back to attention.
