GROSEPFAKES, the largest Deepfake pornography site, has evaporated in nature. Since Sunday, May 4, the platform URL no longer returns to thousands of faked X videos. He has nothing to offer a 404 media.
This is good news, at least for some. For what ? Because the videos of Mrfeepfakes exhibit people and the transform into porn actors. The creators of the site insert their faces without their consent on clips generated by AI. Put yourself even a second in their place …
In addition, we are talking about thousands of sequences here and not dozens. More specifically, the platform hosted nearly 43,000 videosviewed more than 1.5 billion times.
Who killed MRDEEPFAKES?
First, know that Mrfeepfakes is made up of approximately 4,000 creators content and buyers ready to put up to $ 1,500 For a personalized video.
And the platform is not content to host the clips. It also offers services to connect with creators paid in cryptocurrency.
The site even manages an extremely active forum. Members are exchanged there more and more sophisticated tips, software and methods to create these rigged videos. It is, moreover, there that the software Deepfacelab has been widely disseminated.
Fortunately, this is all the past. THE Monday May 5the home page of the site displayed the following, adding that the message will be deleted within a week:
“” We will not restart the site. Any website claiming this is a false. This field will eventually expire and we decline any responsibility for its future use »»
Apparently, we owe this to one of the key providers in MDEEPFAKES. Of course, many suggest that this closure is also linked to the Revelation of identity of a key actor on the site. I explain the story to you.
By the way, a collaboration between Bellingcat, Radio-Canada and the Danish media revealed a 36 -year -old Canadian pharmacistresiding near Toronto. It is identified as potentially being implied in the management of MRDEEPFAKES.
And I admit that it is not absurd to think that it precipitated the decision to close the site. However, it is also possible that legal factors have played a role.
The recent adoption of ” Take it down act In the United States, in the United States could also have prompted certain service providers to disengage from platforms like MRDEEPFAKES to avoid legal complications.
But beware! GROSEPFAKES is dead but deepfake will remain
I imagine that we all agree on this point. The disappearance of MRDEEPFAKES does not solve anything because the phenomenon itself is far from being able to disappear. For what ?
Well, Mindeepfakes was perhaps the biggest actor, but He was not the only one. In addition, software to create false videos are available for free access to GitHub. Deepfacelab is, for example, always downloadable.
Besides, the community has already withdrew to other Web gray areasespecially on Telegram. Where the exchanges of non -consented synthetic content continue quietly.
So, in my opinion, everything must be revised. Social networks must, for example, set up a stricter moderation. Without this, the problem will only move from one platform to another.
But, well, even if we assume that the tools such as Deepfacelab are prohibited. And that the platform’s moderation systems are all strict, people will always find a way to break the law.
