Creator of NI politician's deepfake video yet to be found

Hunter has since campaigned for a change in the law that would see the creation of deepfake images to be made a criminal offence in Northern Ireland. Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle's North West Today programme, the assembly member for East Londonderry said while the Police Service of Northern Ireland was "very sympathetic", it was unable to take the matter further due to the "lack of appropriate laws here and also a lack of investment in cybercrime technology". "What's very sad is that we're now almost three years on from what happened to me and, right now, the same thing could happen again – to any woman, to any child, to any man," said Hunter. "There's a real sinister use of this technology and if someone does it to you, you want to know who has that level of anger or angst or resentment towards you that they would make something such as this."
