Actress Collien Fernandes has accused her former husband, actor Christian Ulmen, of sharing deepfake sexual videos of her online. In particular, he disputes allegations of creating deep-fake videos, where a face of one person is digitally appended to another person’s body. Undeterred, Fernandes has become the figurehead of a campaign in Germany to push back against the largely unregulated world of digital violence against women. People gather to protest against online assaults against women in Hamburg, Germany, on March 26th last. Pushing back, the Süddeutsche Zeitung daily has warned against releasing long-pent-up fury blaming all men for all male violence against women.
