Collien Fernandes announces a big protest. It happens on Sunday in Berlin. The meeting starts at 4 PM at the Brandenburg Gate. Fernandes wants to make a statement against sexual violence. She says: Many perpetrators escape punishment. Only few victims report the acts.
The background is serious claims against her ex-husband. Fernandes publicly accuses Christian Ulmen. He allegedly made fake profiles of her for years. He also allegedly sent pornographic pictures with her face. These pictures are faked with Artificial Intelligence. Experts call this Deep-Fakes. Ulmen denies the claims through his lawyers.
The Federal Justice Minister now plans a new law. It is called the Law against Digital Violence. This will punish Deep-Fakes more strictly in the future. The law should close gaps in criminal law. Fernandes hopes for better protection for women. She currently sees Germany as a place for perpetrators.
