4 channels are opened in parallel for the victim of deepfake (misleading image/video produced with artificial intelligence) during the 24-hour critical phase: (1) Hash chain evidence, (2) 5651 m.9/A peace penalty, (3) TCK 134-136 prosecutor's office, (4) In-platform complaint.
First 24 hour protocol
Forensic report
- Image/video metadata (creation date, software trace).
- Deepfake signature (Adobe FALCON, Microsoft Authentic, Intel FakeCatcher).
- Manipulation analysis in the high frequency domain.
- Source vsubject (original client image) comparison.
If the image is in the original but the context has changed, is it a deepfake?
Yes. Even if there is no artificial intelligence manipulation, context changing (cropping, editing) falls within the scope of KVKK + TCK 134-135. The concept of "manipulated media" is broad.
Will CMK 250 be valid for Intim deepfake?
Yes, if it is committed against a child (TCK 103, 226). In cases where the violation is committed against an adult and aggravates the violation (e.g. by force, multiple distribution), the path to severe punishment is open.
Is the platform that trains the artificial intelligence model responsible?
Currently, the direct model provider responsibility is not clear in Turkish law. Within the framework of KVKK, legal action is open as a "data controller"; The enforcement of the EU AI Act will also affect Türkiye.
What does BTK do if the platform does not remove content?
5651 m.8/A bandwidth throttling; Article 9/A 4-hour application in emergency measures. Advertising ban and additional fine for platforms that do not have foreign representatives.
How much is the compensation amount?
Supreme Court 4. Non-pecuniary damages for intimate video disclosure in HD and HGK applications are between 50,000-500,000 TL; Since deepfake is produced with artificial intelligence, the "intentional" element is aggravated.
