For years, women have faced sexual harassment online.

And with the rise of artificial intelligence, it's only getting worse.

Deepfakes, which use A.I. to create manipulated, but hyper-realistic images and videos of real people in fake situations, are routinely used against women.

I have written about this and written about online abuse writ large for many years.
显而易见,多年来,我一直在写这方面的文章,也一直在写关于网络虐待的文章。

And what has the impact been on your career from this online harassment?
这次网络骚扰对你的职业生涯有什么影响?
Well, it's exhausting. And that's exactly the point.

The point is to make you not want to speak out, to make you not want to stand up for the truth, to just retreat into anonymity online.
重点是让你不想说出来,让你不想为真相挺身而出,只是退回到网上匿名发言。
And I think that's something that I have really pushed back against.

I know that there are women that look up to me. There are women who I don't want to have to go through this in the future.
我知道有些女性很尊敬我。我不想让这些女性在未来经历这些。
And so I am making a point of drawing attention to this despicable behavior, whether it's deepfake porn, or violent threats, or just the incessant harassment like -- that women like me are on the receiving end of.
我想让大家注意到这种卑鄙的行为,无论是深度伪造色情片,还是暴力威胁,还是只是像我这样的女性所遭受的无休止的骚扰。
I have had to get a restraining order against a stalker that I have. I have been named in extraneous lawsuits.

But I'm not going to give up and I'm not going to stay silent.
但我不会放弃,也不会保持沉默。
