I feel like a lot of the concerns around this are already covered by image and likeness restrictions. They exist for the exact same reason - people don't want their likeness associated with something they don't consent to. They don't want their image tarnished or false information being published. It's just that the modern internet has gotten us so used to completely disregarding this that people forgot it was something that affects others.
I don't think local models should ever be restricted, in the same way I don't think our imaginations should be restricted. But when it comes to non-private use, sharing, selling, harassment, those are all bad for their own obvious reasons.
It's a new problem, but AI is not to blame - bad people who want to stalk, harass, and completely disrespect others are the problem. Blame the human, not the tool. A tool which gives people new ways to harm others is not the tools fault, it's the person who's doing the harm's fault.
