Court ordered penalties for 15 teens who created naked AI images of classmates

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In addition to probation, the teens will also be required to attend classes on gender and equality, as well as on the "responsible use of information and communication technologies," a press release from the Juvenile Court of Badajoz said.

In addition to mental health impacts, victims have reported losing trust in classmates who targeted them and wanting to switch schools to avoid further contact with harassers.

Minors targeting classmates may not realize exactly how far images can potentially spread when generating fake child sex abuse materials (CSAM); they could even end up on the dark web.

An investigation by the United Kingdom-based Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) last year reported that "20,254 AI-generated images were found to have been posted to one dark web CSAM forum in a one-month period," with more than half determined most likely to be criminal.

While lawmakers struggle to apply existing protections against CSAM to AI-generated images or to update laws to explicitly prosecute the offense, other more drastic solutions to prevent the harmful spread of deepfakes have been proposed.

Ars could not immediately reach Meta for comment on efforts to combat the proliferation of AI-generated CSAM on WhatsApp, the private messaging app that was used to share fake images in Spain.

I'm sure this will prevent it from happening ever again.
- Is that how this usually works? A single low-level judge rules on a case and then the malicious behavior never happens again? TIL

- I don’t really know whether having to take classes on gender and equality will have any positive, if not even negative effect as that could lead to permanent prejudice against the topic and everything related to it.
