Beijing announced its rules governing “deep synthesis technologies” earlier this year, and finalized them in December. They will come into effect on Jan. 10.
Here are some of the key provisions:
Users must give consent if their image is to be used in any deep synthesis technology.
Deep synthesis services cannot use the technology to disseminate fake news.
Deepfake services need to authenticate the real identity of users.
Synthetic content must have a notification of some kind to inform users that the image or video has been altered with technology.
Content that goes against existing laws is prohibited, as is content that endangers national security and interests, damages the national image or disrupts the economy.
The powerful Cyberspace Administration of China is the regulator behind these rules.
And what is fake news? Anything video that is critical of the party or its agenda or shows it in a bad light. And if it goes against the party or the agenda, it surely must be the work of deep synthesis.
Coming to a WEFocracy near you.
Translation: The Chi-Coms insist the use of deepfake technology is theirs and theirs alone. You peasants will comply, or else.....
China is making bold assertions about intellectual property rights...
That’s so cute...
While I agree that these rules are only to embolden the Chinese psyops ...
They do make a lot of sense as far as cybercrime rules go.
Well, no more funny cat videos, then..................
I think the main provision is that the real identity of the sender must be known to big brother. It seems that many Chinese Christians have been communicating with each other out from under the scrutiny of big bro and big bro doesn’t like it.
If one wanted to label something "disinformation" they could take a video that had gone viral and which was, say, inconvenient to the deep state, and then use a copy of that same video to superimpose elements of the very same images onto the original, but now the video would show that it was "altered" and a deep fake, even tho' the now "fake" video showed what the original did.
The media would never question or interrogate the original. They would just dutifully parrot that it was "debunked" as a deep fake.
Why would they do this? The world is being run by liars and scum.
Well China now turn their back on our deep-fake President?
