Digital-violence proposal (October 7, 2026)
Germany’s cabinet approved a digital-violence draft on October 7. The government says it would criminalize unauthorized creation and dissemination of intimate imagery, including sexual deepfakes, and possession of rape videos. Victims would gain court-backed rights to information needed to identify perpetrators and pursue damages. Courts could temporarily restrict accounts for serious rights violations where further abuse is anticipated. The proposals would expand criminal and civil remedies for digital abuse.[1]
