I hope the EU is advising these people to use secure and encrypted communications.

I hope the people who are in danger of this is using secure and encrypted communications. Wouldn’t that be good advice coming from EU?

Because the prices kept on ricin?

Incoming headline:

senior Kremlin official dies of suicide after shooting himself in the back of the head 3 times after falling out of 10th floor window.

Yay! 😃🍿

Oh, so holding criminals accountable isn’t impossible? Can you see that, USA?

Does this only affect digital reproductions?

The article seems focused on the digital angle, but I’m not sure.

Because it’s sometimes easy to reproduce someone’s else voice especially if you are a voice actor.

Is that widespread? My impression is that misrepresentation through fake likeness has exploded from AI generated deepfakes?

And what if you happen to have a voice almost identical to another person?

Then you have the right to your voice and they have the right to their voice. If neither uses the likeness for misrepresentation or other nefarious means then nothing will come of it. If either do there are probably already possibilities within current legal frameworks to prosecute.

It is hygge to read about Denmark doing good work in this area.

The proposal establishes legal definitions for unauthorized digital reproductions, specifically targeting “very realistic digital representation of a person, including their appearance and voice.”

Creative works such as parody and satirical content remain exempt from these restrictions.
