Deepfake porn is on the rise – and everyday women are the target

My denim bikini has been replaced with exposed, pale pink nipples – and a smooth, hairless crotch. I zoom in on the image, attempting to gauge what, if anything, could reveal the truth behind it. There's the slight pixilation around part of my waist, but that could be easily fixed with amateur Photoshopping. Although the image isn't exactly what I see staring back at me in the mirror in real life, it's not a million miles away either. And hauntingly, it would take just two clicks of a button for someone to attach it to an email, post it on Twitter or mass distribute it to all of my contacts. Or upload it onto a porn site, leaving me spending the rest of my life fearful that every new person I meet has seen me naked. Because this image, despite looking realistic, is a fake.
