Reddit has banned “fake porn” – imagery and videos that superimpose a subject’s face over an explicit photo or video without the person’s permission.<\/p>\n
The move follows\u00a0the development of artificial intelligence software that made it relatively easy to create clips featuring computer-generated versions of celebrities’ faces.<\/p>\n
Reddit had become one of the most popular places to share and discuss so-called deepfake videos.<\/p>\n
It also reworded its\u00a0policy for minors.<\/p>\n
The discussion site had been under growing pressure to act after other platforms – including Twitter, Gfycat and Pornhub – introduced their own deepfake bans.<\/p>\n

Deepfakes involve the use of artificial intelligence software to create a computer-generated version of a subject’s face that closely matches the original expressions of another person in a video.<\/p>\n
