Overview
- Collien Fernandes, who posted Tuesday that she is flying back to Berlin, says she will meet politicians this week to press for tougher digital-violence laws.
- Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig plans to table a government draft within days that would make making and sharing sexual deepfakes a crime and bolster victim rights such as fast takedowns and platform data access.
- The Green parliamentary group prepared a stricter bill to amend section 184k that would punish creating, transmitting, or making sexualized images and deepfakes accessible with up to two years in prison, rising to three in severe abuse-of-power cases.
- More than 250 prominent women issued a ten-point plan that urges explicit criminalization of non-consensual deepfakes, bans on “nudify” apps, stronger platform duties, a digital violence protection law, and clearer consent rules under “yes means yes.”
- Spanish authorities confirmed the Palma de Mallorca court has handled Fernandes’ complaint since December in an early-stage probe, while Christian Ulmen’s lawyer disputes media reports and the presumption of innocence applies.
