Description
When a streamer who goes by QTCinderella starts trending on Twitter, she isn’t expecting to see her face on a porn site — her face, doing things she never did.
Because the videos weren’t of her. They were deepfakes. Instead of staying silent, QTCinderella decides to fight back.
And her story raises a bigger question: how did we get to a world where anyone can be put into realistic-looking digital porn? The answer stretches back to the earliest days of the internet.
Featuring archival tape from QTCinderella and Ian Goodfellow, and interviews with Walter Schrier.
