Giorgia Meloni will testify at a court in the Sardinian city of Sassari in a bid to send a message about the problem

Italy’s prime minister is seeking €100,000 (£85,374) in damages after deepfake pornographic videos of her were shared on the internet.

‘Deepfakes’ are images or videos where the face of one person, in this case Giorgia Meloni, is digitally put onto the body of another.

Two men accused of making the videos, a father and son aged 74 and 40, are being investigated.

There's a adult film called who's banging Pailin based on Sarah Pailin... On top of that porn satire was very popular, Jon Stewart released a book with artitists renditions of all the members of the Supreme Court nude.

who's banging Pailin

I think it was "nailin'", for the rhyme. Sad that I know this.
