AI Deepfakes Threaten Teens Online | Portland Maine News
Description
Two-thirds of teens fear becoming victims of deepfakes, with nearly half having seen AI-generated porn—much of it featuring themselves or people they know. Social media, gaming, and even texts are spreading this content, which ranges from fake nudes to suggestive imagery. A quarter of teens admit to creating or knowing someone who creates it, and many say it’s distorting views of bodies and relationships. Fueled by fear, some teens are cutting back online—yet many still downplay the harm, believing “no one gets hurt.” And alarmingly, most haven’t talked to a trusted adult, leaving them to navigate this threat alone.
