Gold Coast Man Reportedly Ordered to Pay $343,500 After Posting Purported Deepfake Pornographic Images of Australian Public Figures
In a first-of-its-kind case under Australia's Online Safety Act, the Federal Court ordered Anthony Rotondo to pay $343,500 plus costs for creating and sharing nonconsensual deepfake pornographic images of prominent Australian women on MrDeepFakes.com. After reportedly receiving a removal notice in 2023, Rotondo defied authorities, emailed the images to dozens of recipients, and was later found in contempt. The images were reportedly taken down after he provided account access to investigators.
