The Korean National Police, which last week announced a crackdown on sexually abusive deepfakes, said Monday that they had launched an investigation into Telegram over potential charges of aiding and abetting the spread of sexually explicit deepfakes on its platform. Local media and crowdsourced efforts recently uncovered large numbers of chat rooms on the messaging app Telegram that distribute fake sexual images and videos made with artificial intelligence. An overwhelming majority of deepfake victims in South Korea are women and teenage girls, according to journalists and activists who have monitored some of the chat rooms. Last Tuesday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol had instructed authorities to "thoroughly investigate and address these digital sex crimes to eradicate them".

　　Two days earlier, South Korean journalist Ko Narin had published what would turn into the biggest scoop of her career in the Hankyoreh newspaper has shocked South Korea. Ms. Ko was convinced there must be more than the two deepfake porn rings of the country's major universities so that she started searching social media and uncovered dozens of chat groups on the messaging app Telegram where users were sharing photos of women they knew and using AI software to convert them into fake pornographic images within seconds. What's more, these groups were not just targeting university student; there were rooms for specific high schools and even middle schools as well. If a lot of content was created using images of a particular student, she might even be given her own room. Broadly labelled “humiliation rooms” or “friend of friend rooms”, they often come with strict entry terms.
