Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig said her ministry was drafting a bill that would make the production of pornographic deepfakes and voyeuristic recordings a criminal offence, with violations punishable by up to two years in prison. ⁣

Currently, only the distribution of such deepfakes is explicitly illegal.⁣
