      This is not a legal text, you little cheat.

      This is a sentence in natural language, want me to start asking such questions about everything you write?

      If you make a deepfake of someone and share it, then it’s defamation. Taking a picture voluntarily shared and editing it is not a crime.

      My understanding is that intention is not uncommonly litigated; I believe the question of “intent to deceive” is central to trademark law, for example. That’s also what the the “degrees” of murder etc are about.

      Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer. I do read an awful lot of contacts and talk to lawyers.
