They Dedicated Their Lives to Teaching. Then the Deepfakes Started
TL;DR
The deepfake epidemic in schools is affecting more than students. Four teachers tell WIRED about becoming targets of sexualized, AI-generated content—and how difficult it was to find accountability.

Nauti's Take
The reporting creates a real opportunity: accountability only starts moving once targets go public and force schools and platforms to name who is responsible. The risk runs the other way, since generating this material is cheaper than any defence and detection stays structurally behind.
Anyone running a school or a team should define reporting paths and evidence handling now, not after the first incident.
