    I can only assume that this has to do with international law. Copyright is pretty well protected and has a huge lobby behind it. Whereas nobody actually seems to care about privacy.

      More like they want to push copyright enforcement/expansion by using something people care about. Similar to “think of the children”.

      They did try to push copyright as a solution to revenge porn, in effect pushing a private alternative justice system based on DMCAs and payment processor blackmail.

      We should get bespoke laws to deal with deepfake problems.

      You might think that, but try using Google’s Street View in Germany. Almost the entire country is unavailable due to their privacy laws.

        that was the case a couple years back. Germany is now pretty well-covered by Street View

          Ok, I haven’t really looked in years. Did they change the privacy laws, or did Google just change how it was collecting pictures?
