It is inevitable that basically everyone in the next generation will have deepfake porn made of them by some asshat classmate. It is about as hard to stop as someone creating an nude painting of someone from imagination. It is not a nice thing to do, and really mean if shared in public, but the types of measures it would take to stop it are incompatible with a free society.

There are potentially a couple of positive social outcomes that may emerge from this trend though.

1. everyone who sees a deepfake of themselves will be forever viscerally skeptical of any claim relying only on photos and videos socially shared online.

2. everyone who sees actual nude photos or videos of people they know will be skeptical they are real, thus taking away the power of revenge porn or ransom porn.
