Schools and lawmakers are grappling with how to address a new form of peer-on-peer image-based sexual abuse that disproportionately targets girls.

Honestly I think we need to understand that this is no different to sticking a photo of someone's head on a porn magazine photo. It's not real. It's just less janky.

I would categorise it as sexual harassment, not abuse. Still serious, but a different level

Schools generally means it involves underage individuals, which makes any content using them csam. So in effect, the "AI" companies are generating a ton of csam and nobody is doing anything about it.

Do deepfake explicit images created from a non-explicit image actually qualify as CSAM?

I would consider that as qualifying. Because it's targeted harassment in a sexually-explicit manner. All the girl would have to do is claim it's her.

Source: I'm a father of teenage daughters. I would pursue the individual(s) who started it and make them regret their choices.
