The country would be the first in the world to adopt the measure, amid warnings that reality and AI-generated images will soon be indistinguishable online

Denmark plans to become the first country in the world to give its citizens copyright over their faces and voices in an effort to clamp down on “deepfakes” — videos, audio clips and images that are digitally doctored to spread false information.

    Ah janteloven, danish humility.

    I live in Denmark, used to live in the US. Lots of problems still, but it’s basically just across the board better in most ways to me.

    I think the copyright law is a great step. Yeah, there’s probably some holes in the law and it doesn’t fix everything but I don’t know what else could be done, nor what other countries are doing nearly this much

      About to live in Denmark for about six months, I’m certain I will have to be dragged back into the states kicking and screaming the whole while. I’m fully expecting some pretty large changes in my mental health and quality of life.
