MaskPark incident

MaskPark incident is an incident involving alleged cybersex trafficking, and the spread of sexually exploitative videos via the Telegram app in China. Quotes The MaskPark incident exposes the extreme vulnerability of Chinese women in digital spaces. What’s even more insidious and shocking is the prevalence of perpetrators known to the victims: partners, boyfriends, even fathers committing sexual violence against underage girls. [...] With the rise of deepfake technologies and rapid online circulation of surreptitiously filmed content, women’s bodies are being digitally exploited at an unprecedented scale, but I believe if authorities are truly willing, and invest the necessary resources, it’s entirely possible to trace and prosecute these crimes. We need to hold the Chinese government accountable.
