'I was deepfaked by my best friend' | BBC News

“Jodie” is a victim of being deepfaked. In the spring of 2021, Jodie - not her real name - was sent a link to a porn website from an anonymous email account. Clicking through, she found explicit images and a video of what appeared to be her having sex with various men.
