The Scottish National Party have included some nasty ideas in its election manifesto to criminalise and imprison men for possessing deep fake porn, insulting women or visiting sex workers. The manifesto for this week's election includes (on page 69):
Tackling violence against women and girls We need to ensure that our laws keep up with new abuses, so women are protected. That is why we will ban using technology to create and possess
deepfake intimate images. We recognise women face abuse in their everyday lives and need increased protection against this. That's why we will bring forward Misogyny Bill legislate to ensure harassment and abuse based on misogyny
is outlawed in Scotland. We view prostitution as violence against women and believe that the purchasing of sex should be criminalised. We have established an independent Commission to consider how thiscan be done whilst ensuring
that women are protected and concerns that women could be at higher risk of violence are addressed.
