00:00How is cyber-violence against women and girls spreading across Europe?
00:08More than 90% of deepfake videos online are pornographic in nature,
00:12with women almost exclusively the target.
00:15Across Europe, cyber-talking, surveillance and the use of spyware
00:19were the most common forms of cyber-violence reported by women and girls.
00:23Online harassment, hate speech and threats were equally widespread
00:28and reported in 30 countries.
00:30For instance, in Greece in 2023, women made up 55.3% of victims in online threat cases
00:38and 69.6% in cyber-stalking cases.
00:42More than half of the countries also reported a rise in image-based abuse
00:46and non-consensual intimate image sharing.
00:49In Denmark, the number of young people experiencing image-based abuse
00:54has tripled since 2021.
00:56Since the beginning of the year, Grok, the Elon Musk-owned AI chatbot,
01:00has responded to user prompts to undress images of women
01:04creating AI-generated deepfakes with no safeguards.
01:08Musk has since said that the platform has put in place new tools
01:12to stop Grok from letting people edit photos of real people in revealing clothes.
01:17Politicians, journalists, women's rights offenders and feminist activists
01:22are frequent targets of online harassment, deepfake pornography
01:26and coordinated hate speech designed to silence or discredit them.
