In 2023, when she was just 19 years old, actress Millie Bobby Brown joined a horrifyingly long list of female celebrities\u2014from Taylor Swift to Scarlett Johansson\u2014who have had their likenesses stolen and manipulated into sexually explicit deepfake videos. For Brown, who rose to fame as a child star on Stranger Things<\/em>, the violation is particularly acute: many of the fake videos were created and circulated while she was still a minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deepfake pornography uses artificial intelligence to map a person’s face onto existing adult content. What was once a crude, easily detectable manipulation has become, in just a few years, hyper-realistic and nearly impossible for platforms to scrub from the internet. Brown’s name \u2014 “Millie Bobby Brown deepfake porn” \u2014 is now routinely searched alongside explicit terms, a phenomenon that digital rights advocates call “image-based sexual abuse” \u2014 not porn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Target Since Childhood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Millie Bobby Brown was 12 years old when Stranger Things<\/em> premiered. By 14, she had already become a subject of online sexualization and deepfake creation. In a 2022 interview with The Wrap<\/em>, she spoke about the helplessness she felt: “They’re trying to tarnish my reputation. It’s dirty. It’s wrong.” Unlike traditional revenge porn, deepfakes don’t require a real intimate moment\u2014just a public photo and malicious intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actress has repeatedly urged social media platforms to act faster. “It’s a violation. No one should have to see fake, disgusting images of themselves,” she said. Yet, despite her fame and resources, the videos remain a persistent problem. If a global star<\/a><\/strong> cannot fully remove them, advocates argue, what hope is there for ordinary victims?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legal Landscape Is Catching Up\u2014Slowly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For years, there was no federal law in the United States specifically banning deepfake pornography. That began to change with the passage of the DEFIANCE Act<\/em> (Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act) in 2024, which allows victims to sue creators and distributors for damages. The UK’s Online Safety Act also criminalizes sharing deepfake intimate images without consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, enforcement remains a nightmare. Many deepfake videos are produced in jurisdictions with no laws against them, and the sheer volume\u2014millions of videos online\u2014overwhelms reporting systems. For every video taken down from Twitter (X) or Reddit, ten more appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Psychological Toll<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Experts compare deepfake victimization to a form of digital rape. Dr. Mary Anne Franks, a law professor and author of The Cult of the Constitution<\/em>, notes: “The harm is not in the falseness of the image, but in the real degradation, harassment, and loss of control experienced by the victim.” For a young woman like Brown, who has spoken openly about anxiety and the pressures of growing up in the spotlight, deepfakes add a layer of inescapable trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victims report needing to constantly monitor the internet, fearing that employers, friends, or family members might stumble upon the fakes. Some have lost job opportunities or faced bullying at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can Be Done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there is no silver bullet, a combination of legal, technological, and cultural shifts is emerging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
