Deepfake-Based Pornography as a Crime of Online-Based Sexual Violence: A Comparative Study between Indonesia and the United Kingdom

Abstract

The growth of artificial intelligence has taken place in the creation of deepfake technology, leading to the realistic manipulation of images, voices, and videos. One of its most dangerous artificial intelligence is the creation of deepfake-based pornography, a type of online sexual violence. In Indonesia, the relevant legal frameworks include the Pornography Law, the Information and Electronic Transactions Law, and the Law on Sexual Violence Crimes, whereas the United Kingdom's Online Safety Act 2023 provides more explicit regulation. This study applies a normative juridical method with a comparative legal approach. Primary legal materials include statutory regulations and case law, which are supported by secondary sources such as books, journals, and academic articles, as well as tertiary sources such as legal dictionaries and online databases. The data was gathered through literature and document studies, and the analysis was qualitative, employing descriptive and comparative techniques. This study compares the regulations and sanctions for deepfake-based pornography crimes in Indonesia and the United Kingdom. The method used is normative juridical, with a comparative legal approach. The study's findings suggests that Indonesia must strengthen regulations and victim protection mechanisms to address the development of deepfake technology. To prevent and combat this type of online sexual violence, the government and society must work together to make specofic regulations.
