I'm not sure you can teach boys not to be horny teenagers 😜

Having been a teenage boy myself, I wouldn't dream of trying.

But I knew it wasn't OK to climb a tree with binoculars to try to catch a glimpse of the girl next door changing clothes, and I knew it wasn't OK to touch people without their consent. I knew people who did things like that were peeping toms and rapists. I believed peeping toms and rapists would be socially ostracized and legally punished more harshly than they often are in reality.

Making and sharing deepfakes of real people without their consent belongs on the same spectrum.

We do eventually grow up at least

... into horny men

... but hopefully with a little more empathy and propriety.
