Show Notes

When 'Jodie' discovered images of herself had been turned into fake pornography, she felt her "whole world fall away". 
  
"I was seeing images of me that weren't real, but that looked very, very real," she told Matt Barbet on today's episode of the Sky News Daily. 
  
She's one of a growing number of women dealing with deepfake nudes, as the software to digitally transform a clothed picture into a naked one is easier to get hold of. 
  
Jodie joins Matt and Professor Clare McGlynn, who focuses on cyberflashing and image-based sexual abuse, to discuss how tech companies and the law are allowing this to happen.
